New Delhi [India], February 7 : Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh on Friday took a jibe at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), stating that the party has "always believed in breaking other parties."
Singh further stated that the BJP had toppled governments in states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh.
"BJP always believes in breaking other parties. BJP is the most corrupt party in the country... They have toppled governments in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Arunachal Pradesh. Do we need a certificate from them that they are not dishonest..." Singh said while speaking to the media.
Additionally, Singh addressed the issue of the BJP allegedly attempting to poach 16 AAP MLAs to join the party. He stated that an inquiry had been demanded on the matter.
"We have complained about this and demanded an inquiry. After our allegations Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva created drama and wrote a letter to the ACB... I have come to lodge a complaint and I demand inquiry on it. I have also given the phone number from which AAP leader Mukesh Kumar Ahlawat was contacted..." he further stated.
This comes after the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) team visited the residence of AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal following the Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena's recommendation for a probe into allegations of bribes being offered to the party's MLAs.
This inquiry order was issued after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) filed a complaint to Delhi LG saying that allegations were "false and baseless," intended to "tarnish" the image of BJP and create panic and a situation of unrest in Delhi immediately after the conclusion of polling which was held on February 5.
On Thursday, Kejriwal alleged that the "BJP had approached 16 of his party's candidates to convince them to leave the Aam Aadmi Party and join the BJP."
