Delhi’s deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia on Monday (22) claimed the country’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) offered him the chief minister’s post if he broke the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Addressing a press conference here, Sisodia said he was surprised when someone came to him with a message that he has two offers from the BJP.
“The messenger said one was that all big cases registered against you by CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation)-ED (Enforcement Directorate) will be taken back. The other offer was that I break the party and they will make you chief minister,” the AAP leader claimed.
“I gave a clear political answer to them, saying Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal is my political guru and I have learnt politics from him. I have not come into politics to be CM or PM,” Sisodia said.
AAP national convener Kejriwal and his deputy Sisodia on Monday arrived on a two-day visit to the western state of Gujarat, where the elections are due this year-end.
During the visit, the two AAP leaders hold discussions on employment and education with youth ahead of the state.
Their visit comes amid a row over alleged irregularities in Delhi’s excise policy and the CBI’s registering an FIR against Sisodia.
This is Kejriwal’s fifth visit to Gujarat this month.
