'Rs 100 cr to buy 10 councillors': After MCD poll win AAP accuses BJP of horse-trading

By IBNS
Sat Dec 10 2..

New Delhi/IBNS: The Aam Admi Party (AAP), which won the Delhi civic polls, on Saturday accused the BJP of trying to poach its newly-elected councillors and claimed that it has even set a Rs 100 crore budget for the purpose.


In a press conference, senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh alleged that the BJP has come down to its "dirty games, just like the horse-trading of MLAs in Maharashtra, Arunachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Goa, and Gujarat."

इस देश में जनादेश का, लोकतंत्र का कोई मतलब बचेगा?

या BJP को खुली छूट है कि खरीद फरोख्त करके सरकारों को गिराए?

30 सीटें आने के बावजूद अपना mayor बनाने की कोशिश करे?

BJP Kidnapping Gang बन गया है, आदेश गुप्ता का नाम आ रहा है

BJP was engaging in horse-trading despite losing 80 seats as compared to the last elections, Singh alleged.

He said BJP was "trying to murder democracy and insult the people's mandate" through threats and money.

"BJP is such a shameless party, that it says the mayor will be theirs, even after getting 30 fewer seats than us," Sanjay Singh said.

BJP's state president Adesh Kumar Gupta and BJP workers have mentioned a budget of Rs100 crore for buying MCD councillors.

The amount has been set to buy 10 AAP councillors, implying Rs 10 crore for each of them.

AAP ended BJP’s 15-year rule, winning 134 wards in the prestigious municipal corporation. In the election, Congress shrank to just nine seats while BJP managed to win 104 wards in a House of 250.
