A day after Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) issued a lookout circular against Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, the latter has claimed that he has received a message from the BJP to join the saffron party.
Taking to microblogging site Twitter, Sisodia has said, the BJP has offered to “close all cases against him” if he quits AAP and joins the saffron party instead.
“I have received a message from the BJP — break from the AAP and join BJP. We will ensure that all cases by CBI and ED against you are shut. My reply to the BJP, I am a descendant of Maharana Pratap, a Rajput. I will cut off my head but will not bow down to the corrupt and conspirators. All the cases against me are false. Do what you want to,” he said.
Besides issuing a lookout circular, the CBI had raided Sisodia’s residence and 21 other locations on Friday for around 14 hours in connection with the irregularities in the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22.
Meanwhile, Sisodia and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal are visiting Gujarat’s Himmatnagar on Monday and then Bhavnagar on Tuesday, where they will discuss Delhi’s model of education, hospitals, and mohalla clinics.
Apart from this, the AAP will also display Sisodia’s previous work to the public in Gujarat.
