Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Friday broke down in front of the media after a Delhi court discharged him and former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia of all charges in the Delhi liquor policy case.

Kejriwal alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and home minister Amit Shah had engineered an unprecedented political plot in independent India. He said the BJP’s strategy was to eliminate the Aam Aadmi Party by targeting its top leadership, while asserting that he has always maintained that truth emerges victorious.

"I am not corrupt. The court has said that Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia are honest. Today, the court has discharged all accused in this case. We always said that the truth emerges victorious. We have full faith in the Indian legal system. Amit Shah and Modi ji together hatched the biggest political conspiracy to finish AAP and 5 big leaders of the party were put in jail. The sitting CM was dragged out of his house and put in jail. Kejriwal is not corrupt. I have only earned honesty in my life. Today, the court has said that Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and AAP are kattar immandaar (strictly honest)," Kejriwal said.

Sisodia also hailed the court's decision saying that the truth has emerged victorious.

"Satyamev Jayate. Today, once again, I feel proud of Baba Saheb Ambedkar Ji's visionary thinking and the Constitution he crafted. Despite all the attempts by Modi Ji's entire party and all their agencies to prove us dishonest, today it has been proven that Arvind Kejriwal - Manish Sisodia are staunchly honest," he said.

The Rouse Avenue Court on Friday discharged former Delhi CM Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in the Delhi excise policy case.

The court observed that the alleged central conspiratorial role could not be substantiated.

The court noted that the allegations "failed judicial scrutiny" and found "no criminal intent" on the part of Manish Sisodia. It further stated that the conspiracy theory "cannot survive against one constitutional authority."
