Swati Maliwal case has brought Arvind Kejriwal's "real face" to public: JP Nadda

New Delhi [India], May 20 : Lashing out at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Bharatiya Janata Party national president JP Nadda said that the Swati Maliwal assault case has "exposed" the Aam Aadmi Party and its national convenor, bringing its "real face" in front of people.
The BJP President held a roadshow in support of party candidate Bansuri Swaraj in the national capital.
Bansuri Swaraj, daughter of late veteran BJP leader Sushma Swaraj, is contesting from the New Delhi constituency. She is pitted against AAP candidate Somnath Bharti.
Speaking to ANI, JP Nadda said, "It is clear that for selfish needs he (Arvind Kejriwal) made all sorts of compromises -- I will not do corruption but went to jail, I will not make a party but then formed a party, I will not contest elections but did contest elections. I will not ally with Congress but later allied. He said he respects women but a woman (Swati Maliwal) was assaulted at his residence."
"Arvind Kejriwal's silence on this incident (Swati Maliwal assault case) shows his double standards and the public has seen his real face now...This party has been exposed in Delhi and the country. For those who used to protest against the Nirbhaya rape case... this might not be the only case. Who knows how many such episodes have happened? This shows their thinking and culture," he added.
He also affirmed confidence that the BJP will get people's 'blessings' and register a landslide victory in the Lok Sabha elections.
"The other opposition parties of the 'Ghamandiya Alliance' have no issues left. They are predicting BJP's seats but not theirs, because they are not getting any. The people of the country will support PM Modi and he will form the government for the third term. BJP will win 370 seats and NDA will win 400 seats," Nadda added.
The case pertains to the alleged assault case, in which Swati Maliwal has accused Kejriwal's former personal aide, Bibhav Kumar of assaulting her at the Chief Minister's residence.
Earlier in the day, Delhi Police took Bibhav Kumar to the CM's residence and recreated the crime scene at the spot, according to sources.
Kejriwal's former PA was arrested on Saturday in connection with the case. He was produced before the Tis Hazari Court, which remanded him to police custody for five days.
Maliwal, in her complaint, alleged that Bibhav "slapped" her "at least seven to eight times" while she "continued screaming" and "brutally dragged" her while "kicking" her in her "chest, stomach and pelvis area." After his arrest, Bibhav was produced before Delhi's Tis Hazari Court, which remanded her in police custody for five days.
Bibhav lodged a counter-complaint with the police on Friday, accusing Maliwal of gaining 'unauthorised entry' into the CM's Civil Lines residence and 'verbally abusing' him.
Meanwhile, all seven seats of Delhi will go for polling on May 25. The counting of votes is scheduled for June 4.
BJP has been winning all seven seats in Delhi for the last two elections.
This time, AAP and Congress are under a seat-sharing agreement with the former and latter contesting on four and three seats each.
