"AAP admits Kejriwal aide ‘misbehaved’ with Swati Maliwal, but rift brewing for months An AAP functionary says Maliwal wanted to contest elections before, which did not happen. By the time she was offered Rajya Sabha seat, she had apparently lost faith in party. New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) admitted Tuesday that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s close aide Bibhav Kumar “misbehaved” with the party’s Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal at the CM’s official residence Monday. At a press conference, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said that Maliwal was waiting in Kejriwal’s drawing room to meet him, when Kumar, who was among the handful of people allowed to meet him in jail, “disrespected” Maliwal. Singh added that the CM had “taken cognisance” of the matter and would “take action”. ©SHIRSENDU KARMAKAR "
