In a heated political exchange, the BJP has come forward with allegations against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), accusing its national convener, Arvind Kejriwal, of harboring a party MLA involved in extortion, assisted by a known gangster.
During a press conference held on Saturday, BJP's national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia and Delhi state president Virendra Sachdeva revealed an audio clip that allegedly includes a conversation between an AAP MLA and the gangster in question.
Amidst the rising tension and onset of election season in Delhi, these accusations mark a significant charge. The BJP challenges the AAP to remove the MLA to prove its non-involvement, while simultaneously questioning the party's stance on crime in the capital.
