"Swachh Bharat of different kind, cleaning up corruption": Union MoS Ravneet Bittu on ED raids at AAP MP

New Delhi [India], October 7 (ANI): After the Enforcement Directorate conducted searches at AAP MP Sanjeev Arora's residence in Punjab, Union Minister of State and BJP leader, Ravneet Singh Bittu on Monday said that this is "Swachh Bharat" of a different kind, cleaning up corruption, one AAP leader at a time.
In a post on X, Bittu said, "Why is AAP making a fuss over ED's raid on Punjab AAP leaders? The party's record is tainted with corruption, be it Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Satendar Jain or Vijay Nair all either under trial or out on bail. With what moral ground are these tainted leaders now trying to shield their MP?"
"Congress ho ya AAP, Bharat ka Constitution karega usko saaf! This is Swachh Bharat of a different kind, cleaning up corruption, one AAP leader at a time" the BJP leader added.
Earlier today, Aam Admi Party Rajya Sabha MP Sanjev Arora confirmed that agencies were searching his premises. In a post on X, Arora said, "I am a law abiding citizen, am not sure about the reason for search operation, will cooperate fully with agencies and make sure all their queries are answered."
AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh criticsed the search and said that the BJP's fake case making machine is after the AAP. Sanjay Singh posted on X and alleged that the ED is targeting the party 24 hours a day.
Former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, Manish Sisodia also criticised the BJP over the raids.
"Since this morning, ED is raiding the house of Aam Aadmi Party's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora. In the last two years, they have raided Arvind Kejriwal's house, my house, Sanjay Singh's house, Satyendra Jain's house... nothing was found anywhere. But Modi ji's agencies are engaged with full dedication in making fake cases one after the other. These people will go to any extent to break the Aam Aadmi Party. But no matter how much they try, the Aam Aadmi Party people will neither stop, nor sell themselves, nor get scared, " Sisodia said.
The agency is yet to release an official statement on the search operations. (ANI)
