There are a total of 170 cases registered against party leaders, while judgement in
140 of these have gone in favour of the AAP, he noted. He said all the cases against the AAP were false and fabricated filed with the mala fide intent to tarnish the image of the party.
He said now that the arrest of AAP leaders has started, the raids are undertaken with an intent to put an end to the AAP.
