Did BJP send Swati Maliwal to trap CM Arvind Kejriwal? On this allegation, BJP National President JP Nadda said- Aam Aadmi Party is a party built on the foundation of lies and its credibility is not zero, but in minus. Today Arvind Kejriwal has been exposed in every way in front of the people of the country and the people of Delhi. If this conspiracy has been hatched by the BJP, then why are you silent? Who is stopping you? What is the culture of this party? We never talked to her (Swati Maliwal), nor did anyone from our party talk to her. We do not do such things. We are very straightforward people. If you have been caught stealing, then why did you start scolding the police officer? He has no credibility, he can stoop to any level and make any allegation.
