Money given to media houses to defame us, says AAP


New Delhi, Nov 24 (IANS): The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Sunday claimed that Rs.1,400 crore was distributed in some media houses to defame the party.

The allegation comes in the wake of a sting operation by media portal mediasarkar.com, which showed some AAP members allegedly accepting donations without proper verification.

"I am told Rs.1,400 crore have been distributed to a few media houses. Who are these media houses?" tweeted AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal.

The party also held a press conference here Sunday in which it gave a clean chit to all its members featured in the video and reiterated that it will sue the media portal's chief executive officer Anuranjan Jha as well as some other media houses.

"We will soon be filing civil and criminal defamation cases against the media portal and some channels," lawyer Prashant Bhushan said.

"Portions have been edited and deleted to show AAP candidates in bad light. There is political motivation behind the operation. All our members are honest and innocent," party leader Yogendra Yadav said.

The sting that came out Thursday showed AAP leaders, including Shazia Ilmi, candidate from south Delhi's R.K. Puram, accepting donations without proper verification days before the Dec 4 Delhi assembly polls.

    When congress realized that it is difficult for them to come into power in Delhi in this election, they divided Anna Hajare camp and indirectly helped for the creation of AAP. But they didn't realize that this AAP will turn into a thorn in their way.

    Majority of Indians wanted to become rich overnight. So they chose quick-bucks.
    In Politics Kejriwal also chose the same path.
    Immediately he wanted to become a Chief Minister not to solve the problem of corruption but to capture power’s Kurchi .
    Kejriwaal’s Quick-Bucks of Politics.

    The entry of Kejriwal is a loss to BJP not for congress. Congress votes are fixed to congress. BJP’S ARE FRUSTRATED AND COMPLAINING TO GOVERNMENT OF DELHI.

    Easy way to shift the limelight from the main issue.
    Political parties rake up a new issue or an allegation to forget the older issue.

    Mr. Aravind Kejriwal is the only hope to clean the system. The good citizens of India are duty bound to support his party for a better future of our children.

    Only those who do not know anything about Mr. Kejriwal pass negative comments.

    Yes Mr. Vashal, Mangalore, Election 2014 will be totally different. All "kachra" gathered for the past 70 years will be swept off. The broom is a signal that it will going to be a "sweeping" election.

    There is nobody who is innocent in Politics. When Kejriwal and the company formed a political party their transformation to scoundrels was complete. There is no use in crying over spoilt milk. Voter will decide who among the scoundrels is innocent.
