Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed that the BJP has started telephoning his party's councillors and offering them up to Rs 20 lakh each.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said the "heavy BJP machinery" deployed during campaigning made the MCD polls the Aam Aadmi Party's toughest election so far and accused the saffron party of trying to "buy" its councillors.
The AAP national convener claimed that the BJP has started telephoning his party's councillors and offering them up to Rs 20 lakh each.
"This election was very, very tough. A few people say it was an easy election, but it was not. The way they conspired against us and the way they used state machinery against us, it was the toughest elections we ever contested," Mr Kejriwal said in his address to the newly elected councillors.
"Heavy BJP machinery deployed during campaigning made the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls the toughest election for AAP so far," he added.
