New Delhi: With only hours remaining to the election in Delhi assembly polls, the Bharatiya Janata Party claimed to have caught the Personal Assistant (PA) of Delhi Chief Minister Atishi with Rs 5 lakh, which he wanted to distribute among the voters.
In a post on X, BJP In-charge of National Information and Technology Dept Amit Malviya wrote, “Delhi CM Atishi Marlena’s PA caught with Rs 5 lakh in Girikhand Nagar. FIR lodged. A conspiracy is being hatched to buy voters in Kalkaji.”
Earlier, an FIR was also filed against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at a police station in Haryana’s Kurukshetra district over remarks on ‘poisoning’ of the water of Yamuna river, sources said on Tuesday.
Both the developments have come just hours before the polling for the 70-member Delhi Assembly which is scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. on Wednesday.
Also, on Tuesday, during an interaction with IANS, Kejriwal’s former associate and veteran social activist, Anna Hazare, slammed the former Delhi Chief Minister, saying, “Initially, Arvind was with me, but as soon as power and money clouded his thoughts, things changed.”
He went on to explain that when Kejriwal focused on running the liquor shop business and abandoned the principles they once shared, he chose not to continue with him.
“I was invited to join the party, but I refused, I won’t be part of it,” Hazare added.
