Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia claimed that the BJP had reached out and offered to drop all cases if he joined the party. This comes after the AAP leader’s house was raided by the CBI on Friday in connection with a case it has registered against him and several excise officers over alleged corruption in the rollout of a liquor policy.
“I have got a message from BJP — leave AAP and join BJP, We will close all CBI/ED cases. My reply to BJP – I am a descendant of Maharana Pratap, I am a Rajput. I will sacrifice myself but will not bow in front of the corrupt and schemers. The cases against me are false. You can do whatever you want,” Sisodia’s tweet read.
Sisodia has alleged that the case against him has been cooked up because the BJP fears the popularity of the AAP. Sisodia has said that the 2024 general election is set to be a contest between AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and accused the BJP of misusing central agencies to stop the AAP leader.
The CBI on Friday had carried out searches at 31 places including Sisodia’s residence.
