New Delhi, February 27 Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah of conspiring to eliminate the Aam Aadmi Party through a "fake" excise policy case.
Earlier in the day, a city court acquitted Kejriwal, his deputy Manish Sisodia, and 21 others in the politically charged liquor policy case.
Addressing a press conference after receiving a clean chit in the case, the AAP chief said that they would file an application in a court for discharge in connection with cases registered by the Enforcement Directorate.
"The BJP has thrown Delhi into chaos with problems like pollution, a polluted Yamuna, and damaged roads... I challenge PM Modi to hold fresh elections in Delhi, and if the BJP wins over 10 seats, I will quit politics," he asserted.
Hitting out at the BJP, Kejriwal said he had earned only honesty and reputation throughout his life, which was being attacked by Modi and Shah through a "fake" liquor scam case.
The court has delivered a historic verdict, he said, adding that the judge showed tremendous courage in passing the order under the existing circumstances when all institutions are under attack.
