AAP MLAs, Kejriwal to discuss BJP 'poaching' bids

August 25, 2022 10:51

The political slugfest in Delhi is likely to intensify further as Aam Aadmi Party MLAs are scheduled to meet at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence in New Delhi at 11 am on Thursday to discuss alleged poaching attempts by the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Sources in the party said all the legislators have been called for the meeting, adding that some of them could not be contacted.

The AAP has 62 MLAs in the 70-member Delhi assembly.

The Kejriwal government has also convened a special session of the Delhi Assembly on Friday over Central Bureau of Investigation, Enforcement Directorate probes, raids targeting its ministers and the 'poaching' efforts made by the BJP.

The BJP has challenged the AAP to reveal the names of those who allegedly contacted its MLAs with an offer to switch sides and charged that the Kejriwal-led party is trying hard to divert attention from the Delhi government's liquor 'scam'. -- PTI
