AAP MLA poaching allegations: seven BJP MPs write to Lieutenant governor, demand probe

Seven BJP MPs have written to Delhi Lt Governor V K Saxena seeking an inquiry into the Aam Aadmi Party's allegations that BJP attempted to offer huge amount of money to AAP MLAs to switch sides.

BJP MPs Manoj Tiwari, Ramesh Bidhuri, Hans Raj Hans and Parvesh Verma alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is doing a "drama" of being an "anti-corruption" party and the investigation will "expose" them.

Parvesh Verma, BJP MP from west Delhi called for a "lie detector test" for the AAP MLAs so the investigation can "expose their drama of being anti-corruption".

Labelling the allegation by Kejriwal and Sisodia as also by other AAP leaders as "malicious, false and misleading", the BJP Lok Sabha MPs alleged it was an "attempt to divert attention from the liquor scam of the Delhi government".

The Delhi deputy chief minister has been named as an accused by the CBI in its FIR registered in the probe into the alleged irregularities in the implementation of the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22.
