I was asked to join BJP, claims AAP leader Kumar Vishwas; BJP, Congress lash out at him
- 5 years ago
Aam Aadmi Party leader Kumar Vishwas on Saturday claimed that a BJP MP had offered that he would be made the Chief Minister of Delhi if he joined the saffron party to help it form government
"On August 19, a BJP MP, who happens to be a good friend, visited me along with other party leaders. During talks he made an offer that I switch to BJP and in return I would be made the Chief Minister and that the higher-ups were aware of the move.
"The BJP MP said if I agreed with his proposal he would take me to his senior leaders. I humbly declined it," Vishwas said.
Meanwhile, BJP has rubbished all claims saying Kumar Vishwas should name the person from BJP who had approached him. Even the Congress party reacted saying AAP members do not tell truth, but BJP should tell the truth. BJP leader Sambit Patra said, Vishwas's statement should be looked more with an entertainment value than with political value, ANI reported.
BJP leader Nalin Kohli also told ANI, "Kumar Vishwas' baseless allegations confirms there is a mad rush within AAP for chief minister's post and he is one of several in that rush."
Congress party also slammed Vishwas's claims saying, the Aam Aadmi Party remains greedy for power. Responding to allegations that AAP leader Kumar Vishwas had been approached by the Bharatiya Janata Party to join it, Congress leader Mukesh Sharma said, that if this was true, then the AAP must reveal the name of the BJP MP.
"Kumar Vishwas must reveal the name of the person, he is a big leader of AAP,and it is famous about the AAP, that they first do the sting operation and later on start the discussion. So, it is obvious that Kumar Vishwas must have made the video of that conversation. Therefore, he should also reveal the video and tell the name of the person who approached him," Sharma said.
