Poaching Claims: Delhi Police Team Reaches Atishi’s House Day After Serving Notice To Arvind Kejriwal
A team of the Delhi Police crime branch on Sunday reached Atishi’s house as the AAP’s accusation issue, that the BJP was trying to buy their MLAs, has been gaining momentum.
The team came to serve notice to the Delhi minister in this regard.
On Saturday, a team of the crime branch reached AAP convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s house to serve him notice in an alleged horse-trading case.
Like Kejriwal, Atishi will also not receive the notice by herself. She has directed the officials to receive the notice on her behalf. The Crime Branch sleuths served the notice on CMO officials in the absence of Kejriwal and sought a reply from the AAP supremo within three days.
AAP has been perpetually alleging that the BJP was trying to topple their government by offering Rs 25 crore to each MLA under ‘Operation Lotus 2.0’.
“BJP has launched ‘Operation Lotus 2.0’ and is trying to topple the democratically elected AAP government in Delhi. As many as 7 MLAs of the AAP have been contacted by the BJP and have been told that Arvind Kejriwal will be arrested soon after which rift and disunity will consume the party. They are in touch with 21 of our MLAs and they are planning to use them to topple our government. Those 7 MLAs have been offered Rs 25 crore each. They unleashed ‘Operation Lotus’ to come to power through the back door in states where they were not democratically elected. Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Arunachal Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh are examples,” the AAP leader Atishi had said.
Reacting to the development, Delhi BJP Secretary Harish Khurana said AAP leaders should substantiate their claims of BJP’s involvement in horse trading. “Whether it is Atishi or Arvind Kejriwal, if you have made allegations, you’ll have to produce evidence. The way these two people are accusing the BJP of poaching MLAs, now every member of the BJP is asking them to tell who the MLAs who were contacted and by whom.
