Strain at a gnat and swallow a camel

Home Ministry will soon inspect the books of accounts of Aam Aadmi Party in connection with alleged illegal foreign funding to it.

The move comes after the AAP sent replies to queries from the Home Ministry regarding violation of Foreign Contribution Regulation Act while receiving funds from abroad. "We need further interaction with AAP as we need some clarification on their replies. We will inspect their books of accounts," a senior official said.

The Home Ministry probe into the foreign fundings to AAP came following a directive of Delhi High Court in response to a public interest litigation.

The AAP, which is all set to form government in Delhi, said it was ready for any kind of probe and insisted that it had taken donations only from Indians, residing in the country or abroad. "If we are found guilty of any wrongdoing, we will accept double the punishment," AAP leader Yogendra Yadav said.

AAP had said it has collected about Rs 19 crore till November 8 as donations from 63,000 people including a host of NRIs. It has claimed to have received donations ranging from Rs 10 to several lakhs, from rickshawpullers to traders and industrialists to fight the polls and bring a "graft-free" administration.

Former Chief Minister of Delhi Sheila Dikshit had questioned the source of funding of AAP, whose main election plank was to check corruption.

AAP had a stunning debut in the recent Delhi assembly election, winning 28 out of 70 seats.

AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal will be sworn in as Chief Minister of Delhi on Saturday after Congress with eight MLAs extended outside support to the nascent party.

The Con-BJP alliance have each swallowed thousands of crores of unaccounted money without a hiccup but can't understand how the AAP got 20 crores white money.

They are so corrupt that they see black money everywhere.The Adarsh scam is staring them in the face but they don't care to see that and Rahul Gandhi says that he will fight corruption.

AAP is further going to collect another 100 crores from the people for the Lok Sabha Elections and have already announced it.

What will they say now?

They are just making laughing stocks of themselves in setting up these enquiries as the people have seen through them.
