The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday fired a fresh salvo at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and said that post Sandeep Kumar sex scandal Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal-led party has been "exposed to the finish".

BJP leader Shaina NC said that within AAP, there is no ideology, conviction and value system.

"Time and again, the AAP party has been exposed for its double standards and moral high ground and this time it has been exposed to the finish," said NC.

"There is no ideology, there is no conviction and there is no value system. I think that Mr. Arvind Kejriwal has been exposed, his party has been called a bluff and it is important to understand that it is not just about Mr. Kumar it is about so many other legislators also who have committed the same and don't have iota of shame," she added.

Further slamming ousted Delhi Minister Sandeep Kumar for playing the Dalit card in his defence, Shaina said, "Mr Kumar should realize that people of this nation are way to intelligent to fall in to his trap."

Kumar was arrested yesterday night, hours after a woman alleged that he had drugged and raped her a year ago.

The arrest came three days after Kumar was sacked as from the Delhi Cabinet following the release of a video showing the complainant and him in a "compromising position". Kumar also lost his primary party membership.

To determine the authenticity of the CD, the Delhi Police's Crime Branch has initiated an investigation.

Kumar was sacked by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal after a CD that contained an 'objectionable' video landed at AAP's office in Delhi.
