Kejriwal talks about ‘Operation Jhaadu’
Talking about BJP’s Operation Jhaadu, Kejriwal said, “The BJP has launched ‘Operation Jhaadu’ to prevent us from becoming too powerful and posing a threat to them. AAP’s top leaders will be detained under ‘Operation Jhaadu’, and their bank accounts will be frozen in the coming days. ED’s lawyer has stated in court that AAP’s bank accounts will be seized soon after the election. He claims that freezing the accounts now will garner sympathy.After the election, they will freeze our accounts, empty out our offices, and bring us to the streets. These are the three strategies proposed by the BJP.”
