AAP Comes Out In Support Of Congress Over ‘Himanta Corrupt’
AAP came out in support of senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi calling Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma as the “most corrupt CM in the country.”
Reacting to Rahul Gandhi”s statements, AAP Chief National Spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar told ANI: “It is not a hidden thing. Himanta Biswa Sarma, Suvendu Adhikari and Chhagan Bhujbal, these are those leaders who got cleaned by washing machine.” The washing machine reference pointing at the BJP by the opposition was meant to allude that political leaders tainted by corruption charges were washed “white” once they joined the BJP.
