Ruling party welcomes ED action on Saurabh Bharadwaj, Kejriwal cries political vendetta
A war of words erupted between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) raided former minister Saurabh Bhardwaj's residence in connection with a money laundering probe linked to the alleged irregularities in hospital construction projects in the capital.
Following the raids, AAP hit out at the ED and the Union Government, calling it a BJP-led conspiracy, and claimed that Bharadwaj was not even a minister when the decisions on hospital construction were taken.
The ruling party welcomed the raid against the AAP MLA, accusing the former Delhi government under Kejriwal of being "corrupt in all fields". Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said that it does not matter who was the minister at the time of the "scam".
