BJP and AAP Engage in Verbal Sparring Following ED Summons for Arvind Kejriwal; Delhi Government Cries Foul Play

Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, has been served summons by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), triggering a war of words between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The AAP alleges a conspiracy to dismantle the party, while the BJP sees it as an opportunity for Kejriwal to clarify the changes in the liquor excise policy and identify who benefited from a seven percent commission.
