A war of words has ensued between the Aam Aadmi Party and Swati Maliwal, with both sides deflecting accusations levelled by the other. Atishi, a notable figure from the AAP, has pointed a finger at Ms. Maliwal, alleging her of teaming up with the Bharatiya Janata Party to smear their party’s reputation during the recent general elections.
This charge has ignited a political storm, with the BJP expressing severe disapproval of Mr. Kejriwal’s silent stance on the issue. The BJP’s mouthpiece, Gaurav Bhatia, went a step further, dubbing Mr. Kejriwal the “chief culprit” for his apparent nonchalance in the face of the conflict.

He held a press conference in Lucknow with Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav and AAP MP Sanjay Singh. Singh, acknowledged Kumar’s misconduct and criticized BJP, demanding accountability for various women’s issues under their governance.
An FIR was registered over the issue, In her FIR, Maliwal alleged that she was brutally assaulted Bibhav Kumar at Chief Minister’s residence. Maliwal alleged that, she thrashed and abused by Kumar, The 39-year-old also said that she received severe injuries on her head and her leg during the assault.
But in the new CCTV footage, Swati Maliwal does not appear to have any injuries and is even seen trying to free herself from the policewoman’s grip.
