Reacting to the allegations, Mr Goel, the AAP's Madhya Pradesh in-charge, said the video was a "concocted" one and that his party will take legal action against the same.
The BJP on Friday accused AAP leader Mukesh Goel of demanding Rs 1 crore from a junior engineer of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi for giving gifts to party leaders. The BJP also released a sting operation video of the AAP leader and urged Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to sack him from the party without any delay.
Reacting to the allegations, Mr Goel, the AAP's Madhya Pradesh in-charge, said the video was a "concocted" one and that his party will take legal action against the same.
Speaking at a press conference here, BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra claimed, "Goel demanded Rs 1 crore from the MCD junior engineer, saying it was needed for giving Diwali gifts to 100-150 leaders." He also said Mr Goel was the "right hand" of Arvind Kejriwal who never took any decision in the matters of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) without consulting him.
Mr Goel is the AAP candidate from Adarsh Nagar ward in the Delhi civic body polls slated for December 4.
