However, the BJP dismissed the allegation and challenged AAP to name the MLAs and the people who contacted them with the offer.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal posted on ‘X’ that seven of his party MLAs had been contacted by “them” and warned that the AAP convener would be arrested soon.

The Delhi CM said that the callers claimed they were in contact with 21 AAP MLAs. The MLAs were promised ₹25 crore and a BJP ticket each to contest the elections after the toppling of the Delhi government.

He said that all the seven AAP MLAs refused to quit the party.

“BJP has started ‘Operation Lotus 2.0’, and is trying to topple the democratically elected AAP government in Delhi. 7 MLAs of the AAP have been contacted by the BJP, and have been told, that Arvind Kejriwal will be arrested soon, after which AAP MLAs will be rifted apart. They are in touch with 21 of our MLAs, using whom we aim to topple the Delhi government. Those 7 MLAs have been offered ₹25 crores each… Operation Lotus is the tactic used by the BJP to come into power in states, where they are not democratically elected… Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Arunachal Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh are examples…,” Atishi said.
