In the coming days, AAP can become a tough challenger to BJP in several states. Therefore, they want to destroy us.”

This is BJP's standard operating procedure...this is the same Delhi Police who did not file an FIR on Brij Bhushan Singh until court intervened, even though women wrestlers sit on the streets.

ED's lawyer has already given this statement in court that soon after the election AAP's bank accounts will be frozen, he said that if they freeze our account now we will get sympathy...after election, they will freeze our accounts, our office will be cleared out and we will be brought to streets.
