This is a political conspiracy: Kejriwal on LG’s comment

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday himself made submissions in a court here during the hearing in the excise policy case and said a smokescreen of the AAP being corrupt has been created before the nation.

As he was being taken to the courtroom for the hearing in the case, Kejriwal told reporters that “this is a political conspiracy”. “This is a political conspiracy. The people will give an answer,” Kejriwal said. A day before Delhi Lt Governor had said that the city government will not be run from jail. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener made the submissions in Hindi after taking permission from the court despite his lawyers being present.

He made the submissions as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) produced him in the court of Special Judge Kaveri Baweja and sought seven-day further custody, arguing he needs to be confronted with some people linked with the case. The ED said Kejriwal was giving evasive replies and not disclosing passwords of his digital devices.
