Arvind Kejriwal today found an unlikely supporter in Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav who claimed the AAP Chief will win the Delhi polls and BJP was worried about the party's popularity and making allegations on its funds.
"BJP is worried because of the popularity of Arvind Kejriwal this is why (it is) making such allegations (on its funds). He (Kejriwal) will win Delhi elections," Samajwadi Party National General secretary Ram Gopal Yadav said here.
AAP Volunteer Action Manch (AVAM), a breakaway group of the Aam Aadmi Party, had yesterday accused the Kejriwal-led party of receiving Rs 2 crore last year through four "dubious" companies.
The AAP has rejected the charges and demanded a Supreme Court-monitored Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe into funding of all three major parties in Delhi polls.
