It is clear from the sting that Aam Aadmi Party not only sold corporation tickets, they also sold assembly tickets,” alleged BJP MLA Vijender Gupta
Citing the “sting” video, the Rohini MLA said that the AAP candidate against him, Rajesh Nama ‘Bansiwala’, paid money before another leader Jai Kumar, and hence, Rajesh was fielded from the seat in the 2020 Delhi Election.
In response to the fresh claims, Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal told ABP News, “BJP keeps bringing up new drama (nautanki) every day.”
“Even before this, BJP has shown such sting videos many times. Get it investigated nothing will be found,” he added.
Previously, the BJP has released “sting” videos pertaining to the now-withdrawn Delhi Excise policy. The BJP and AAP trade allegations as the excise case is currently being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation as well as the Enforcement Directorate. Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia is among the accused named in CBI’s FIR.
The political tussle between the two parties has further intensified ahead of the December 4 MCD election as 1,349 candidates are in the fray for the polls to 250 wards of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi.
