“Despite all the attempts by BJP and all their agencies to prove us dishonest, today it has been proven that Arvind Kejriwal-Manish Sisodia are staunchly honest,” the former Delhi education minister said on X.

AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said the court’s decision had vindicated the party’s stand.

In his post on X, he alleged that the case was part of a conspiracy to defame the AAP leadership and referred to the period of incarceration faced by party leaders.

AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj said, “The BJP government has everything, it is in power in so many states, yet they had a problem even with the tiny Delhi government.”

Honest people are defamed day and night through these false cases, he alleged.

AAP MLA Kuldeep Singh invoked ‘Satyamev Jayate’, calling the court order a victory for truth.
