New Delhi: The Delhi Police has formally called upon Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to provide evidence substantiating his recent allegations that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) attempted to lure seven Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs with an offer of ₹25 lakh each to switch sides.
Mr. Kejriwal has been instructed to submit the evidence by Monday, as part of the ongoing investigation into his claims. Last month, the Delhi Chief Minister asserted that the BJP, through threatening his imminent arrest in the Delhi Liquor Police case, engaged with around 21 AAP MLAs, attempting to persuade seven of them to defect.
In a tweet on X (formerly Twitter), Kejriwal outlined the alleged conversation, stating, “Recently, they [BJP] have contacted 7 of our MLAs of Delhi and said – ‘We will arrest Kejriwal after a few days. After that, we will break the MLAs. Talks have been held with 21 MLAs. Talking to others also. After that, we will topple the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi. You can also come. Will give ₹25 crore and contest the elections on BJP ticket.”
