AAP has assured the electors of Delhi that if there is any credible evidence of corruption, criminality or dubious character against any of its 70 candidates, the party shall withdraw its support to that candidate even if we have to leave the seat vacant, it said.
“AAP takes serious view of these allegations. We have been the target of a spate of allegations in the last one week or so. The timing and nature of these allegations suggest that these are motivated. It is not surprising that a party that seeks to redefine moral standards in politics is being collectively targeted by powerful vested interests, including the big parties, some corrupt sections of the media and corporate,” the statement said.
Nevertheless, AAP owes an explanation to the nation for every serious allegation, irrespective of its source or the motives, it said.
