Delhi Minister Atishi charges the BJP of targeting AAP leaders, citing impending arrests and political pressure tactics.
Atishi’s Claims Against the BJP
According to Delhi minister Atishi, the BJP is using central agencies to try and destroy the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), and four more senior leaders of the party are scheduled to be arrested over the next two months. She claimed that the AAP MP Raghav Chadha, party MLA Durgesh Pathak, Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj, and she are all going to be arrested by the ruling party.
Plans of Political Pressure
“Through a very close person, the BJP has made contact with me. They claim that if I join the BJP, my political career will be saved. “The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has threatened to arrest me within a month if I don’t switch over,” she said to the press.”
The BJP representative who approached her, according to her, claimed that the ruling party had “made up its mind on crushing everyone in AAP”.
BJP’s claims intentions
“They first jailed every member of the AAP leadership. Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister, has been arrested along with Satyendra Jain, Manish Sisodia, and Sanjay Singh. In the upcoming two months, the BJP intends to detain four more AAP leaders. I, along with Saurabh Bharadwaj, Durgesh Pathak, and Raghav Chadha, will be arrested,” she declared.
The minister from Delhi asserted that she had been informed that the ED might raid her and her relatives’ homes in the next few days. “We are Arvind Kejriwal’s soldiers, we won’t be cowed down by BJP’s threats.”
Ms. Atishi cited the ED’s court submission, which stated that Mr. Kejriwal had claimed that she and Mr. Bharadwaj were subordinated to AAP’s former chief communications officer, Vijay Nair.
“The chargesheets from the CBI and ED already contain this information. It’s possible that the ED obtained our names in order to arrest the AAP’s second line of leadership, the woman said.”
BJP’s Rejection and Counterclaim
The AAP leader’s charges were deemed “baseless” by the BJP. Leader of the party RP Singh stated, “I can also confirm that Saurabh Bharadwaj called me and asked me to shield them from Arvind Kejriwal, who wants to imprison them and appoint Sunita Kejriwal as CM. This is their internal struggle, which keeps manifesting itself in various ways.
“The truth is that everyone whose name is associated with this issue will face consequences. It’s obvious that the AAP is now in a contest for the CM position. He said, citing news agency ANI, “Saurabh Bharadwaj and Atishi are on one side and Sunita Kejriwal and Arvind Kejriwal are on the other.”
The latest in the contentious discussions between AAP and BJP leaders following Mr. Kejriwal’s arrest for money laundering connected to Delhi’s now-repeated liquor policy are Ms. Atishi’s accusations and the BJP’s response. The Chief Minister has been taken to the Tihar jail in Delhi and placed under judicial custody until April 15. He isn’t assisting with the investigation, according to the ED.
