Congress leader Meem Afzal on Thursday said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) only knows how to agitate and cannot use it past methods to win back the trust of the public it had lost during its 49 days in power.

"They can only do agitations. They think they can go back to public using the way they rose to fame, but, they need to know that the people have lost their faith in them," said Afzal.

"They have lost credibility. They are using the same old methods they used earlier. This is a well scripted drama," he said.

Kejriwal was arrested yesterday after he refused to furnish a bail bond in connection with a criminal defamation complaint filed by BJP leader Nitin Gadkari.

The court had on February 28 summoned Kejriwal as an accused in the criminal defamation complaint observing that statements allegedly made by the AAP leader have the effect of "harming the reputation" of the complainant.

The summons was issued against Kejriwal on a complaint in which BJP leader Nitin Gadkari had alleged that he was defamed by Kejriwal, who had included his name in the party's list of "India's most corrupt".
