However, AAP strongly criticized the ACB action and described it as an attempt to scare the party before the election results. Sanjeev Nasiyar, head of the Law Cell of the Aam Aadmi Party, said that the ACB had no legal notice and he only sat outside Kejriwal’s house because he does not know what to do. Nasiyar claimed, “At first he had no legal notice. After one and a half hours, he gave us notice. The entire drama has been done by the Lieutenant Governor’s office with the BJP. Officials were under pressure. ”Singh alleged that more than 16 AAP candidates have been tried to separate them from the party.
