Manish Sisodia appealed to his party MLAs to stand against the BJP's "extortion drive".
As the political brouhaha over the demolition drive in Jahangirpuri continues, the AAP on Friday accused Delhi BJP councillors of demanding bribe from city residents after their party's chief Adesh Gupta asked the mayors of south and east civic bodies to remove illegal encroachments by using bulldozers.
Senior AAP leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia called the development “truth of the BJP's bulldozer politics" and gave a call to his party MLAs to firmly stand by the people who are being "intimidated, blackmailed and threatened" by the saffron party councillors.
"Many such complaints are coming from all over Delhi. People of Delhi will not tolerate this type of blatant extortion and hooliganism," Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said in a tweet.
"Is that why the MCD elections have been postponed?" he asked.
