Responding to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's public denouncement of him, he struck a conciliatory tone, saying the former may have been "misled" by media reports on the issue.
The Tri Nagar MLA was strident in his attack on the media saying that the press had lapped up all negative stories against him "fed by the police".
"I have a lot to say now and I will definitely do that. The public, who have been bombarded by negative stories about me fed by the police, need to know the truth of political conspiracy against me by BJP," he told PTI.
"Kejriwal is my leader and my Chief Minister. He also may have been misled by exaggerated media reports. I am very much in my party and will abide by whatever it decides," he said.
