BJP offered to make me Delhi CM if...: Sisodia in Gujarat
August 22, 2022

Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Monday claimed the BJP offered him the chief minister's post if he broke the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). 

Addressing a press conference in Ahmedabad, Sisodia said he was surprised when someone came to him with a message that he has two offers from the BJP. 

"The messenger said one was that all big cases registered against you by CBI-ED will be taken back. The other offer was that I break the party and they will make you chief minister," the AAP leader claimed. 

"I gave a clear political answer to them," he responded saying that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal "is my political guru and I have learnt politics from him. I have not come into politics to be CM or PM," Sisodia said. 

AAP national convener Kejriwal and his deputy Sisodia on Monday arrived on a two-day visit to Gujarat, where assembly elections are due this year-end. 

Their visit comes amid a row over alleged irregularities in Delhi's excise policy and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registering an FIR against Sisodia. 

This is Kejriwal's fourth visit to Gujarat this month.
