Earlier in the day, AAP leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia alleged BJP of allegedly trying to trade AAP leaders by offering them a bribe of ₹20 crore each.
AAP asserted that the BJP had contacted four of its MLAs in Delhi and urged them to defect to the saffron party in order to avoid "false cases, the CBI, and the ED".
“Some AAP MLAs have told me that they are being threatened to quit the party; This is a serious matter," Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has said.
AAP's national spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh had said that leaders of BJP have contacted the legislators Ajay Dutt, Sanjeev Jha, Somnath Bharati, and Kuldeep.
"They have been offered ₹20 crore each if they join the party and ₹25 crore if they bring other MLAs along with them," Singh said.
"They (BJP leaders) told our MLAs that if they do not accept the offer and join the BJP, they will also have to face false cases, the CBI and the ED like (Delhi Deputy Chief Minister) Manish Sisodia is facing," he added.
