BJP Almost Begging For Apology, Won’t Oblige: Arvind Kejriwal

The BJP has asked for an apology after the Enquiry Commission report did not find anything against Arun Jaitley.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said he will not apologise for targeting Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on the DDCA issue as his government’s panel did not give anybody a clean chit.

A day after the BJP demanded a “public apology” from Kejriwal for levelling allegations against Jaitley on the issue, he tweeted his response.

BJP almost begging me for an apology. Sorry. I won't oblige them. Let Jaitley ji be cross-examined in defamation cases. Let truth prevail

On the Delhi government’s inquiry panel into DDCA case, Kejriwal said,

No clean chit ever given by any Del govt probe. That report confirmed several instances of wrongdoings but did not fix responsibility(1/2)

It didn't mention ANYONE's name n recommended Enquiry Commission to fix responsibility, which we have done now(2/2)

The BJP had demanded a “public apology” on Sunday, saying a report by the city government has found no evidence against Jaitley.

Party spokesperson M J Akbar said the DDCA file that Kejriwal used as the basis of his attack against Jaitley does not name the finance minister.

Kejriwal has previously repeatedly said that the BJP is afraid of a probe into the matter and so keeps on running away from an inquiry.

That's the difference between BJP and AAP. AAP takes strong and swift action on credible evidence. BJP defends...
