The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday questioned Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal's claim that some leaders of the saffron party are helping him in winning the Delhi Assembly elections, saying the former is confused and always makes contradictory statements.
"This is a sheer confusion of Mr. Arvind Kejriwal just before his loss in Delhi elections. There are contradictions in all his statements, today on one hand Kejriwal was stating that BJP leaders are trying to prop up a sting operation on AAP, on the very same day he says that BJP leaders are helping him to win elections against Kiran Bedi," BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra told ANI.
"Which one of these is true; they are contradictory, this shows that Arvind Kejriwal has run out of issues and that is the reason why he is confused," he added.

Earlier in the day, Kejriwal had reportedly alleged that the BJP is plotting to run fake sting operations and false stories to malign AAP candidates ahead of the assembly elections.
Kejriwal had also alleged that the BJP leaders are conspiring against its chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi to ensure her loss in the upcoming polls.
The assembly elections in Delhi are scheduled to be held on February 7 while the counting of votes will take place on February 10.
