10 criminal cases against Arvind Kejriwal: ADR


New Delhi, Jan 31 (PTI): The election watchdog ADR on Friday said Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal has 10 criminal cases against him.

The Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR), on the basis of its analysis of the affidavits of 673 candidates in fray for February 7 Delhi assembly polls, pointed out that Congress leader Shoib Iqbal, contesting from Matia Mahal has maximum criminal cases against him.

Iqbal is followed by AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal and Gulab Singh who have 10 criminal cases each against them.

While Kejriwal is seeking re-election from high-profile New Delhi constituency, Singh is contesting from Matiala.

They are closely followed by Shiromani Akali Dal's Manjinder Singh Sirsa who is also the richest candidate in fray and has declared 9 criminal cases against himself.

Congress candidate Asif Mohd Khan, who is contesting from Okhla constituency, has declared 7 criminal cases while AAP's Manish Sisodia has 6.

"Arvind Kejriwal has declared in his affidavit that he has 47 charges against him including causing hurt to deter public servant from duty, disobedience to order promulgated by public servant, rioting and defamation, among others. Out of these, cognizance has been taken in seven cases and charges have been framed in one case," Jagdeep Chhokar, founder-member, ADR, said at a press conference here.

ADR has pointed out in its report that as many as 114 out of 673 candidates in poll fray have criminal cases against them and 19 out of 70 were 'red alert' constituencies which had at least three tainted candidates each.

In Delhi they files criminal case against Arving Kejriwal, in Mangalore they omitt communal speech adn activity. In Kerala and Bengal they tring ti inginite withnsome other tractic which we all aware and watching. One famous TV channel also started to omit anti religion news and always praise modi and group and never telecast fare and clear news.

    All politically motivated cases and these cases do not deter the voters from voting to AAP.Peoples power is far more superior than BJPs money/muscle power.

    Hardcore criminals have no criminal cases against them.What a ARD's findings, better to learn meaning of a criminal case and a civil case. All in all, in Indian politics, all are criminals and where will you find criminal cases against them. Only during election time agencies come out with ranking of criminals depending upon the parties favourism. What a shame !

    A true activist, while his activism, wil have to confront govt and pub servants.
    None of these criminal cases are serious criminal cases.
    I am proud of AK who has taken up issues and is fighting despite these criminal cases booked on him
    Salutes to Arvind Kejriwal again.

    .AAP is no more AAM..they are at par with Congress/BJP..As per ADR on an average AAP candidates this time are more than twice as rich as they were in December 2013. Average assets per candidate in the Congress has declined from Rs. 14.25 crore to Rs. 9.60 crores, in the BJP from Rs. 8.29 crore to Rs. 7.96 crores. But in the AAP it grew from Rs. 2.49 crore to rs 5.89 crore!!!!. AAP which owes its birth to a campaign for clean politics - matches its rivals on candidates with criminal cases..Kejriwall presented/accepted crown,sword same as Congress/BJP..yesterday he was showered flowers through drones!!..AAP better not to fool people sayinG they are different.. they are as much as communal, they are as much as corrupt,they sold tickets same as others,they accepted candidates who are proven corrupt/criminal, they play all games of politics par with Congress/BJP..there is no AAM left within AAP..

    this is how system works!! so, you find Devendra Fadnavees with riots and other criminal charges! and Congress leaders are always clean! same is happening with Kejriwal! he started the debate of "criminality in politics" and boomeranged on him! that is why I say, always see who has been in power and the opponent has high chances of criminal cases! but it is left to us to believe in them! ..

    Irony is that real hard core criminals with financial and muscle power might, are not charged with cases for lack of witnesses.
    They are moving with truck loads of security.
    Whereas humble common man Arvind Kejriwal like person, who is moving freely among public, whom public is throwing sandles, eggs and tomatoes to show their dissent in some issues is branded as criminals by vested interest.
    This is real conspiracy by power hungry, who want to ruin future of a noble leader benefiting the nation.
