Responding to allegations that their chief ministerial candidate Kiren Bedi was a "BJP mole" in Anna Hazare's India Against Corruption (IAC) movement, the BJP Friday said both the Congress and the AAP were "confused and useless" as they cannot explain what they were saying.

To put to rest the controversy that erupted after Aam Aadmi Party leader Kumar Vishwas made a statement on a TV show that "Bedi and V.K. Singh were inclined towards the BJP" while working with the IAC, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra told reporters that if Arvind Kejriwal, who too was there at that time, knew about it, he should have spoken against it.

"Why didn't he speak about it?" Patra asked, saying that the Congress like the AAP was making senseless statements.

If the Congress knew that the AAP was the RSS's prop-up, why did it go on supporting its government in Delhi, he asked.

Patra also asked the AAP where did it lose its "evidence bag" against Shiela Dikshit.

Kejriwal's not speaking about it when he came to know that Bedi was a mole in the IAC, raises questions about his credibility, Patra said.

The AAP is trying to mislead people, he said.

"These two parties have become irrelevant and useless and people of Delhi will not buy their arguments," he added.
