Delhi Congress today accused both BJP and AAP of indulging in 'Noora Kushti'(bogus fight) over preliminary investigation registered by CBI against Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia to benefit the AAP in Punjab elections.
Preliminary Enquiry(PE) has no legal sanctity and it was "leaked" by CBI as BJP wants AAP to get sympathy and cut votes of Congress in Punjab elections, said Delhi Congress president Ajay Maken.
CBI yesterday registered the preliminary enquiry against Sisodia and others in connection with alleged irregularities in AAP government's social media campaign 'Talk to AK', eliciting scathing attack on Prime Minister by Sisodia and Arvind Kejriwal.
Maken also slammed BJP and AAP for indulging in "frivolous" rounds of allegations and counter-allegations to "divert attention" of people from their "failures" in Delhi.
"BJP government and CBI has intentionally leaked the news of PE inquiry against Manish Sisodia. BJP and AAP are hand in gloves and they are deliberately doing this to divert attention from the utter failure of both BJP and AAP government in Delhi," he said.
Keeping the forthcoming elections in mind, specially Punjab and Goa, it is being "deliberately done" for making a futile attempt to generate sympathy for AAP, Maken alleged.
