BJP held a press conference in the national capital on May 18 where its leader Shehzad Poonawalla addressed the ongoing assault against Swati Maliwal. In the latest development in the case, AAP alleged the ‘assault’ as BJP’s conspiracy to defame the party. Aam Aadmi Party also declared Swati Maliwal as the BJP’s ‘face and pawn’ of this conspiracy. Reacting to it, Maliwal attacked AAP and said, people who recently joined the party are now calling her a BJP agent.
