Manish Sisodia, the deputy chief minister of Delhi, asserted on Monday that the BJP had offered to vertically split the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as a purported quid pro quo in the midst of a CBI investigation into the excise policy.
“My response to the BJP is that I am a Rajput and a descendent of Maharana Pratap. I’ll have my head chopped off, but I won’t submit to the corrupt and the conspirators. Every accusation made against me is untrue. In a Hindi tweet, Sisodia dared the BJP to do whatever it pleased.
The charges have been rejected by AAP as being politically driven. Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi and the party’s national convener, earlier charged that the BJP-led national government was exploiting its investigative powers to overthrow elected governments across the nation while “inflation and unemployment are exploding.”
