“Atishi had declared movable assets of nearly 60 lakh in her election affidavit for 2020 assembly election. This amount is in her bank account in the form of fixed deposit and mutual fund. The income tax department has sent a notice for this,” Bharadwaj said.
He further talked about Atishi’s educational and professional background and said it can be understood that “with her professional background one can own an amount of money, that can increase to 50-60 lakhs if put in banks and invested in mutual funds.”
The Greater Kailash MLA also pointed out that the amount of money in Atishi’s account was deposited before she joined AAP.
Atishi, who was also present at the press conference, said the Central government is using all the agencies to trouble the leaders of AAP. “Despite all their efforts, they could not find even single mistake or sustain any case against any AAP leader,” she said.
Modi सरकार से कहना चाहती हूँ- हम आपकी धमकियों से नहीं डरते!
Modi सरकार हर Agency का प्रयोग AAP नेताओं को परेशान करने के लिए करती है
BJP, AAP के खिलाफ एक भी Case Sustain नहीं कर पाई
