Former Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi on Friday (June 20, 2025) launched a sharp attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government at the Centre and in Delhi, alleging a decade-long political vendetta involving more than 200 false cases against party leaders.
Her remarks came as former Delhi Chief Minister Manish Sisodia appeared before the ACB for questioning in an alleged graft case related to the construction of classrooms in Delhi government schools.
At a press conference, Ms. Atishi said, "In the last 10 years, BJP's Enforcement Directorate, CBI, IT and Delhi Police have filed more than 200 false cases against the AAP leaders, but till date not even a single Rupee has been recovered." She cited the Supreme Court's remarks calling Central investigative agencies "caged parrots" during AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal's bail hearing as proof of political misuse of institutions.

AAP leader Satyendar Jain had also appeared before the agency on June 6, 2025 in connection with the same case. Ms. Atishi accused the BJP of using diversion tactics to cover up its failures on the governance front.
