Addressing a press conference here, the BJP candidate from Amethi constituency said, “A judgment regarding Manish Sisodia became public. The Delhi High Court prima facie finds a case of corruption against Manish Sisodia."

“The court accepts that corruption to the tune of Rs. 100 crores have been committed by ….acknowledged Sisodia's alleged attempts to destroy evidence and intimidate potential witnesses, particularly those willing to testify against the AAP," she said as quoted by ANI. 

"My appeal to citizens is to read these substantial observations about Manish Sisodia and the AAP's corruption. These so-called political activists entered the corridors of power with a promise of change but became nothing but looters of the people's treasury," Irani added. 

Speaking about Swati Maliwal's ‘assault’ case, the BJP leader asked, “Can you expect him (Arvind Kejriwal) to do justice to anybody? The question is, while a lady was being assaulted in his house, who was present? What was done by ?"

“The fact that Arvind Kejriwal goes on campaign with an assaulter indicates to you where his loyalties lie. With the assaulter in Arvind Kejriwal's company... AAP is not only corrupt, but its women workers are not safe in their own CM's house," she said. 

Former DCW chief has filed a case against Arvind Kejriwal's close aide Bibhav Kumar. Based on the former Delhi Commission for Women complaint, a special investigation team (SIT) was formed to investigate the case. Kumar was arrested by the Delhi Police
