New Delhi: Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal launched a sharp criticism at the Aam Aadmi Party which is on the verge of losing Delhi assembly elections, stating that god "punishes" those who commit crime against woman.Maliwal's remarks are a veiled reference to the assault case, wherein she alleged AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal's personal aide, Bibhav Kumar of 'assaulting' her at the then CM's residence.

'Ravan's pride was shattered, and "he is only Kejriwal'
However, it is pertinent to note that despite being a sharp critic of AAP and Kejriwal since the episode, she has still not left the party.If we see the history - if something wrong happens to any woman, god has punished those who commit that," Maliwal told media.Launching a blistering attack on AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, Maliwal stated that even Ravan's pride was shattered, and "he is only Kejriwal.

AAP lost due to poor infrastructure and other issues

Ego and pride doesn't last long. Even Ravan's pride was shattered, but then again he is only Arvind Kejriwal," she said.
Highlighting the reasons behind AAP losing the elections, the Rajya Sabha MP stated that they have lost the elections because of the issues like water pollution, air pollution, poor infrastructure and lack of basic amenities.

'I Congratulate BJP for their win'
She further congratulated the BJP and affirmed hope that they would work to fulfil their promises.Today, Delhi has become dustbin...It's because of the issues like water pollution, air pollution and the condition of the streets, that Arvind Kejriwal himself has lost his seat. They (AAP) think that they can lie and people will believe in them...People should do what they say but our (AAP) leadership forgot that and deviated from what they used to say... I congratulate the BJP. People have voted for them with hope - and they should work to fulfil that..." Maliwal asserted.
