Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal alleged on Saturday that the BJP tried to poach seven Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs in Delhi, offering them Rs 25 crore to switch sides. He claimed that talks were held with AAP MLAs by the BJP, who allegedly threatened that the Delhi Chief Minister would be arrested soon in the liquor policy case.
Although BJP claims that they contacted 21 MLAs, as per our information, only 7 MLAs were contacted so far and "all of them refused", the Chief Minister said.
Kejriwal further accused the BJP of trying to topple the AAP government in Delhi.
"This means that I am not being arrested to investigate any liquor scam but they are conspiring to topple the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi. In the last nine years, they hatched many conspiracies to topple our government. But they did not get any success. God and the people always supported us. All our MLAs are also strongly together. This time also these people will fail in their nefarious intentions," he added.
