AAP faces allegation of receiving dubious funds

New Delhi, Feb 2 (IBNS) The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has been accused by some former members of collecting funds from companies which are fake, even as the BJP was quick to take up the allegation to attack AAP for trying to project itself as the only clean outfit in politics.

The Aam Aadmi Volunteer Action Munch (AVAM), comprising former party members, on Monday in a media briefing alleged that the AAP got funds worth Rs 2 crore from companies which were only trying to evade tax.

AVAM member Gopal Goyal said the company in question has not earned a single rupee and yet funded AAP.

Four transaction IDs of Rs 50 lakh each were also mentioned by AVAM.

They said the director  of the company lives in run down house and yet is the so called director of 11 companies.

AAP was quick to call the charges as those by the dirty tricks department of BJP. Its spokesperson said the BJP government should probe it by any agency, even CBI.

BJP leaders Nirmala Sitharaman and Piyush Goyal on the other hand in a press meet said the AAP has been labelling all as corrupt while it itself was mired in such donations.

AAP earlier had said that it has received  Rs 1.25 crore as donation during a  fund raising event  recently.

AAP claims that all AAP donations are transparently published on the website and AAP is the only party that has voluntarily agreed to come under the RTI law. With has almost raised Rs 30 crore for Delhi elections.
