Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Goa chief Amit Palekar on March 26 rejected the claims that funds generated through Delhi’s alleged excise policy-linked scam powered the party’s campaign ahead of the 2022 Assembly polls in the coastal State.
Mr. Palekar, who was the Chief Ministerial face of the party for the polls, told PTI that there is no evidence to prove that any illicit money was sent to Goa, asserting that he and his party colleagues in the State are ready to face any inquiry by any agency.
“The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is fabricating the evidence against the AAP. The agency has nothing to support its allegations,” he claimed.
