BJP releases purported sting video to claim AAP selling tickets for MCD polls, Kejriwal’s party terms it fake
New Delhi, November 21
The BJP on Monday released a sting video shot purportedly by a former AAP volunteer from northwest Delhi’s Rohini to allege that the AAP sold tickets for MCD polls.
AAP MLA Dilip Pandey dismissed the video as “fake”.
The AAP and its chief Arvind Kejriwal are deeply involved in corruption, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra alleged at a press conference here, while playing the video.
The video was purportedly shot by former AAP volunteer Bindu, who was allegedly asked for Rs 80 lakh for an AAP ticket from the Rohini D ward in the MCD polls, Patra alleged.
Patra said the video revealed that 110 AAP tickets were reserved for distribution on the basis of payment.
Responding to charges, Dilip Pandey said the party’s tickets for the MCD polls were much sought after. “There are many touts who got active. But no tickets were given on the basis of money. The AAP is not the BJP or Congress where tickets are distributed to those who pay money,” he said.
“The fake sting operations that the BJP is bringing everyday show that it is losing the election badly,” he said.
