AAM-Aadmi-Party adds Sonia, Modi to ‘hit list’ )))))))))))))) The Aam Aadmi Party on Saturday added to its list of alleged ‘tainted’ politicians the names of Congress president Sonia Gandhi “for perpetuating dynastic politics” and the BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi for his “politics of hatred.” Both leaders were also accused of shielding corrupt politicians in their party. Addressing reporters about the decisions taken at the National Council meeting, AAP leaders Yogendra Yadav and Gopal Rai said the party was committed to “making politics free from corruption, criminalisation and dynastic rule” and would work for defeating “politicians who lead such politics” in the Lok Sabha elections. The AAP will “match” the BJP and Congress’ Rs. 500-crore election campaign blitzkrieg by raising a team of five lakh volunteers from February 5. Union Law Minister Kapil Sibal said he was surprised by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s allegation and termed his intentions “malafide.” But Mr. Yadav said it was not the first time the party had named Mr. Sibal. The AAP alleged that Mr. Sibal had a “conflict of interest” in the Rs. 11,200 crore income tax dispute involving Vodafone for purchase of Hutchinson’s stake in Hutchinson Essar in 2007 as one of the companies was his lawyer-son’s client.
