New Delhi : Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal sparked a political firestorm today with explosive allegations against the BJP. In a series of tweets, Arvind Kejriwal claimed that the BJP is attempting to topple his AAP government in Delhi through bribery and ‘horse-trading’ of AAP MLAs.
Arvind Kejriwal alleges that a senior BJP leader contacted seven AAP MLAs and offered them Rs 25 crore each to switch sides and join the BJP, after which they could contest the next elections on a BJP ticket. He further claims that the BJP leader boasted about having already held talks with 21 AAP MLAs and was confident of bringing down the government.
However, Arvind Kejriwal asserts that all seven MLAs contacted by the BJP refused the offer, confirming to him that the accusations of a liquor scam against him are merely a pretext for destabilizing the AAP government in Delhi. He reiterates his party’s unwavering support from both God and the people of Delhi, confident that the BJP’s “nefarious intentions” will fail once again.
This latest development adds fuel to the ongoing political battle between the AAP and the BJP in Delhi. The liquor scam, currently under investigation, has already seen the arrest of Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia. Arvind Kejriwal’s accusations, if true, paint a dark picture of political manoeuvring and attempt to undermine democratic processes.
Key points to remember:
- Arvind Kejriwal alleges BJP trying to topple AAP government using horse-trading.
- Claims BJP leader offered Rs 25 crore to seven AAP MLAs to switch sides.
- All seven MLAs reportedly refused the offer.
- Arvind Kejriwal calls liquor scam accusations a pretext for political destabilization.
- Developments escalate ongoing political battle between AAP and BJP in Delhi.
The veracity of Arvind Kejriwal’s claims is yet to be proven, and the BJP is expected to issue a strong rebuttal. This incident is likely to dominate political discourse in Delhi in the coming days, further raising questions about the limits of political ambition and the future of the AAP government in the capital.
