Delhi Elections 2025: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh on Thursday alleged that seven of the party’s MLAs had received calls to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), further claiming they were offered ” ₹15 crore” to do so.
“We have told the MLAs to record such audio calls and complain about it. If anyone meets them, they should make a video of it with a hidden camera,” Sanjay Singh further said.
Notably, eight outgoing AAP MLAs, who had been denied a ticket for the Delhi Assembly Elections, had joined the BJP on February 1, only days before the February 5 Delhi Assembly polls. The MLAs cited alleged corruption and deviation from the AAP’s ideology as reasons for resigning from the party.
One of the outgoing former AAP MLAs, Madan Lal, stated that the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP had replaced diligent workers with candidates facing criminal charges and multiple FIRs.
However, Sanjay Singh claimed that the BJP was attempting to break the AAP. “The BJP has accepted its defeat even before the counting of votes and like the rest of the country, the BJP has started the politics of breaking parties in Delhi as well,” lashing out at the saffron party, the AAP MP remarked.
On Wednesday, Delhi voted to elect representatives to 70 Assembly seats.
