Delhi L-G VK Saxena on Friday recommended an Anti-Corruption Bureau probe into Arvind Kejriwal’s allegations that the BJP was offering Rs 15 crore to AAP MLAs to switch to the saffron party, ahead of the counting of votes in Delhi.
The ACB team arrived at the residences of Kejriwal, Sanjay Singh, and Mukesh Ahlawat for probe on the eve of the declaration of results in the Assembly polls.
This comes after the BJP filed a complaint against the AAP over the accusations which the party dubbed “false and baseless".
What Had AAP Alleged?
Arvind Kejriwal and other AAP leaders had alleged that the BJP was offering Rs 15 crores to its MLAs to jump ship as the results of the Assembly polls are scheduled to be declared on Saturday.
“Some agencies are showing that the Abusive Party is getting more than 55 seats. In the last two hours, our 16 candidates have received calls saying, “Leave AAP and join our party, we’ll make you ministers and give each of you Rs 15-15 crore"," Kejriwal had posted on X on Thursday, a day after BJP was projected by the Exit Polls to return to power in Delhi after 27 years.
मैं मर जाऊंगा, कट जाऊंगा लेकिन कभी @ArvindKejriwal जी का साथ नहीं छोडूंगा।मुझे इस नंबर से फ़ोन आया। उसने बोला कि उनकी सरकार बन रही है, मंत्री बना देंगे और 15 करोड़ भी देंगे। “आप" छोड़ के आ जाओ।
मैं इनको कहना चाहता हूँ कि जो इज़्ज़त केजरीवाल जी ने और “आप" पार्टी ने मुझे दी है,… pic.twitter.com/ZrqIC0R4WD
