New Delhi: Former Delhi chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Friday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah alleging a conspiracy was hatched finish AAP.
Kejriwal, former deputy CM Manish Sisodia and 21 others were given a clean chit by a Delhi court in excise policy case.
Addressing a press conference with senior AAP leaders including Sisodia and Sanjay Singh, Kejriwal said, “PM Modi, Amit Shah should apologise to country. Court dubbed the case as totally fake, unfit for trial.”
‘Conspiracy hatched against AAP’
He added that he earned only honesty and reputation in his life while accusing PM Modi, Shah of trying to put a dent to that. “PM Modi, Amit Shah hatched conspiracy against us. We are ‘kattar imandaar’,” the three-term former CM said.

Meanwhile, CBI filed its appeal in Delhi high court challenging lower court’s order discharging Arvind Kejriwal and others in liquor-policy case.
