The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday again called out the BJP for trying to break the party. AAP spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj claimed that AAP MLAs were offered Rs 5 crore to leave the party and join the BJP.

Bhardwaj said that the BJP is establishing "Operation Lotus" by toppling state governments and alliances, betraying the mandate of the people.

On Monday, Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, in a shocking claim, revealed that the BJP offered to drop all cases against him and hand him the CM's post if he joined the saffron party, leading to an all-out war of words between the two parties.

Meanwhile, the BJP on Tuesday sought an explanation from Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on reversing the new liquor excise policy immediately after a probe was ordered.

It also asked how much bribe was received and total loss of revenue to Delhi government.

National in-charge of BJP information technology department Amit Malviya shared a video in which a person claimed that he and others were asked to call AAP MLAs on behalf of senior BJP leaders to defect from the party in lieu of money.

"If Arvind Kejriwal is done nominating Satyendra Jain for Padma Vibhushan, Sisodia for Bharat Ratna and himself for Oscars, he should explain why the new liquor excise policy was reversed immediately after inquiry was ordered, how much bribe was received, total loss to Delhi Govt," Malviya said
