New Delhi, BJP on Saturday accused AAP of resorting to victim blaming in defense of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's aide Bibhav Kumar in the Swati Maliwal attack case.
BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala alleged that Kejriwal was trying to protect Kumar as his aides were in a position to expose damaging "secrets" of the chief minister.
Taking a dig at the party, Poonawalla told reporters that AAP is fundamentally an "anti-women party", as he cited past allegations of misbehavior with women against its leaders.
While AAP claims Maliwal is acting at the behest of the BJP, Poonawalla cited the support to Rajya Sabha MP Vandana Singh, another AAP leader and Delhi Commission for Women member, to hit out at the party.
Taking note of AAP's criticism of Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on this issue, he asked whether Lok Sabha MPs have also become agents of BJP, an allegation his party has leveled against Maliwal.Comparing the Maliwal case to the disrobing of Draupadi in the Mahabharata, he said, "AAP's corruption and misconduct is followed by propaganda. This has become the standard operating procedure of the party."
He said, 'AAP' is now also busy in character assassination of Maliwal.
Poonawal alleged that Kumar is just a puppet, it is Kejriwal who is in control and attacked opposition leaders like Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Rahu Gandhi and Priyanka Chaturvedi for not speaking on the issue.
Noting that Kumar has filed a police complaint against Maliwal, accusing him of attacking him, four days after the incident at the chief minister's residence, the BJP leader said he was clearly acting at the behest of Kejriwal. are doing.To hit out at AAP, Poonawalla also cited Maliwal's medical report, which has reportedly confirmed injury marks on him.
