Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister, claimed on Thursday that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had allocated Rs 800 crore to topple the Delhi government by buying 40 MLAs for Rs 20 crore each. In the 70-member House, the AAP has 62 MLAs while the BJP has eight.

All AAP MLAs assembled on Thursday at Kejriwal’s residence. Party leaders then went Rajghat, the Mahatma Gandhi memorial, to “pray for the failure of the BJP’s Operation Lotus”. At Rajghat, Kejriwal said nothing was found by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) during its search at Deputy CM Manish Sisodia’s residence earlier this week.

“Even mattresses and walls at my deputy Manish Sisodia’s residence were searched by the CBI, but not even a single unaccounted penny was found. A day after the CBI’s raids, Sisodia was approached by the BJP with an offer of the chief minister’s post and to betray Kejriwal. I am lucky to have Sisodia, who has no greed for the chief minister’s post,” Kejriwal told media.

The Delhi administration is not in danger, according to AAP national spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj, and all AAP MLAs have reaffirmed their dedication to the party and the people. Parvesh Verma, a BJP MP, responded to the AAP’s accusations by saying that AAP party is “polluting Rajghat”. He said, “Our karyakartas will have to cleanse it with Ganga jal.”
