Manish Sisodia, the deputy chief minister of Delhi who is under investigation by the CBI in relation to the liquor policy, claimed to have received a communication from the saffron party stating that if he joined the BJP, the CBI and ED proceedings against him will be dropped. He posted the message along with the statement that he preferred being beheaded to joining the BJP.
Taking to Twitter, he wrote: "BJP's message has come to me - break "AAP" and join BJP, will get all CBI ED cases closed My reply to BJP - I am a Rajput, a descendant of Maharana Pratap. I will cut off my head but will not bow down in front of the corrupt-conspirators. All the cases against me are false. Do whatever you want to do."
