Respected Mr. Vijay Goel ji,

I have received the defamation notice sent by you. You have sent me the notice due to your feelings getting hurt because I have commented on yours and BJP’s corruption in my statements.

You claim that you are not corrupt. But Delhi public does not agree with that. Let alone the public, your own party members do not consider you honest. Please state honestly, swear on your kids, isn’t it true that today BJP tickets are being sold openly? The price of a ticket is being bid between two crores to five crores. The BJP contenders for the tickets are themselves coming to us and telling these things. There are some honest people in BJP who are feeling suffocated due to your corruption and are on the verge of leaving the party. The evidences of your corruption are openly circulating in the public. The day you tell us, we will make one appeal to public of Delhi and public will provide mountains of evidence of your corruption.

Since past 7 years, BJP has ruled Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). Please tell one single piece of work that can be done in MCD without paying a bribe? Does MCD approve the maps of the houses without a bribe? Does MCD build a single road without receiving a bribe? Every year, MCD spends crores of rupees on cleaning the sewers. But this cleaning happens only on paper. Entire money is siphoned off. If it rains for two hours, then entire Delhi gets flooded. The reality of cleaning sewers becomes evident.

Still you talk about honesty? Have a single person in Delhi state that work gets done honestly in MCD. Since last seven years you did not leave any stoned unturned in corruption in MCD and since past fifteen years Sheila Dikshit did not leave any stone unturned in corruption in Delhi. Everything was working fine for both the parties. There was good collaboration between them. Behind the scene, BJP and Congress were both engaged in corruption together. To fool the public, they used to criticize each other in public. Now, Aam Aadmi Party has exposed the truth about both the parties. Public has awakened. Public now understands.

Sheila Dikhshit ji raised the electricity rate in Delhi. Before March 2013, BJP never raised this issue in Vidhan-sabha. There are 24 BJP MLA’s in Vidhan-sabha. When Sheila ji was raising the electricity rates of Delhi public, then if all of these 24 MLA’s had walked out of the Delhi Vidhan-sabha or resigned, Sheila ji would not have dared to raise the electricity rate. But you did not do anything. Therefore, public of Delhi has this doubt that you and your party is also in league with electricity companies. Now suddenly, before the elections, you have declared to reduce the electricity rate by 30%. Therefore, public doubts your intentions that will you really reduce the electricity rates or you are making a false election promise?

Vijay Goel ji, today Aam Aadmi Party has made a home in the heart of every citizen of Delhi. Even, some of your own people support us with their heart – your lawyer, your driver, your security guard, your servant, your party members – some of them even donated money to us. Ask your children, may be this time they too will vote for Aam Aadmi Party.

In your notice, you have asked me to apologize. The question of apologizing does not even arise. We have always fought against corruption and will always fight against corruption.

Arvind Kejriwal
