New Delhi (June 18, 2014): A day after reports of the Bharatiya Janata Party was considering the option of forming government in Delhi with the help of rebel Congress and AAP MLAs, several legislators of the Aam Aadmi Party have claimed that the BJP has offered them money to support BJP to form government.

According to certain media reports, as many as five MLAs of AAP has leveled allegations on BJP that they were offered financial incentives by the BJP to quit the Aam Aadmi Party and join them in order to help them form the government.

The AAP MLAs were reportedly approached over the phone or through intermediaries. Among the AAP MLAs who have made the claims of being approached by the BJP include Rajesh Garg (Rohini), Raju Dhingan (Trilokpuri) and Manoj Kumar.

A report on Tuesday had claimed that several MLAs from the Congress and the AAP have been sent feelers by the BJP, which recently formed the government at the Centre.

At present, the Delhi Legislative Assembly is in suspended animation and President’s rule had been imposed in the national capital owing to AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation as CM on February 14.

Meanwhile, Independent MLA Rambir Shaukeen said that he was ready to support the BJP. He also vouched for support from rebel AAP MLA Vinod Kumar Binny.

Also, JD(U) MLA Shoaib Iqbal said that the Congress and the AAP should again form government in Delhi. “If BJP comes to power, then they (Congress and AAP) can forget power for 10 years,” Iqbal said.
