Delhi Police Crime Branch Visits Arvind Kejriwal For 2 Days In A Row

For the second day in a row, a Delhi police crime branch team paid a visit to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s official house on Saturday morning. According to reports, the police squad went to his residence to give him a notice over his allegation that the BJP attempted to steal AAP MLAs. An officer of the rank of assistant commissioner of police (ACP) oversees the criminal branch team.

AAP’s MLAs poached by BJP?

The AAP minister Atishi’s and Kejriwal’s homes were visited earlier on Friday by the crime branch team to deliver notices. Still, they weren’t there. The police had promised to return to the leaders’ homes. This comes after last week, when Kejriwal wrote on X (the old name for Twitter) that the BJP had offered seven of his party’s MLAs ₹25 crore apiece to leave AAP.

“Recently, they (BJP) contacted our 7 MLAs in Delhi and said – We will arrest Kejriwal after a few days. After that we will break the MLAs. Talks have been held with 21 MLAs. Talking to others also. After that, we will topple the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi. You can also come. Will give ₹25 crore and contest the elections on BJP ticket,” Kejriwal wrote in the X post.

“This means that I am not being arrested to investigate any liquor scam but they are conspiring to topple the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi. In the last nine years, they hatched many conspiracies to topple our government. But they were not successful. God and the people always supported us. All our MLAs are also strong together. This time as well these people will fail in their nefarious intentions,” he added.

BJP’s response to allegations

The BJP immediately called those allegations “baseless”. “This shows how politically desperate Kejriwal has become. This unfounded allegation by him is an attempt to keep himself politically alive. The allegation that the BJP wants to break away MLAs of the ruling AAP, having 62 out of 70 MLAs in Delhi, shows his mental bankruptcy,” Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said.

This occurs when Kejriwal is being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for a purported liquor fraud. The AAP leader has so far ignored five summons from the investigation agency.
