Delhi Lt Governor VK Saxena today sanctioned an investigation into AAP’s allegation that the BJP attempted to poach its candidates ahead of the Delhi Assembly election results, scheduled for February 8. The BJP had argued that AAP’s claims were defamatory and aimed at tarnishing its image ahead of the election results.The Lt Governor said that the matter merited an investigation and directed authorities to examine the allegations. An Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) team reached Mr Kejriwal’s Civil Lines residence today to question him. AAP has said that it will register a formal complaint with the ACB over what it called “an attempt to break” its members.
Why is ACB doing drama instead of taking action? Everything will come out during the investigation,” said AAP leader Sanjay Singh. In a social media post, former Delhi chief minister and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal claimed that 16 AAP candidates had received offers from the BJP. He alleged that they were promised ministerial positions and Rs 15 crore each if they defected.
