Quotes
Saurabh Bharadwaj
AAP Delhi unit president
“Firstly, there is no scam, the same thing they said about the 'excise scam' but when it went to court, the matter did not even warrant a charge sheet. This is just unnecessary harassment of a citizen and former minister who was working in Punjab.”

“Modi ji, what did you achieve from this? Twenty-four hours a day, you just keep thinking about sending people to jail. You have no interest whatsoever in running the country. Nor do you even know how to run it.”
