New
Delhi,
Aug
24:
Aam
Aadmi
Party
leader
and
Delhi’s
deputy
chief
minister
on
Wednesday
claimed
that
the
BJP
offered
Rs
20
crore
to
Delhi
MLAs
for
an
exodus
from
his
party.

Sisodia
made
the
allegations
days
after
a
CBI
raid
on
him
in
connection
with
the
Delhi
Excise
policy
case.
He
said
that
the
BJP
tried
to
arm
twist
him
into
joining
the
BJP.

He
said
that
the
BJP
is
also
scaring
the
MLAs
with
CBI
and
ED
raids.
When
they
failed
to
break
me,
they
offered
Rs
20
crore
each
to
other
AAP
MLAs.
They
are
trying
to
intimidate
them
with
threat
of
raids,
he
said
in
a
tweet
in
Hindi.

We
will
die
but
won’t
betray
he
said
while
adding
that
AAP
chief,
Arvind
Kejriwal
is
the
follower
of
the
legendary
revolutionary
Bhagat
Singh.

This
is
serious
matter:
Kejriwal
on
AAP’s
claims
about
BJP
offer

Last
week
after
the
CBI
raids
at
his
house,
Sisodia
said
that
the
Centre
was
planning
to
arrest
him.
He
further
claimed
that
the
AAP
ministers
were
being
targeted
due
to
the
rising
stature
of
Arvind
Kejriwal
in
national
politics.

The
AAP
said
that
the
raids
were
carried
out
as
the
BJP
sees
Kejriwal
as
a
direct
rival
of
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi.
