Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who is under investigation by the CBI in the liquor policy case, issued a stern warning to the BJP, saying that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders will not betray their party. Mansh Sisodia claimed that the BJP offered Rs 20 crores to AAP MLAs to leave the party and is using the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to conspire against them.
“They failed to break me, so now they are offering Rs 20-20 crores to other AAP MLAs and are showing the fear of ED and CBI and have started a conspiracy to break us. BJP should refrain from doing such activities. We are Arvind Kejriwal’s men and followers of Bhagat Singh. We will die but won’t betray. ED and CBI are useless in front of them,” Manish Sisodia said in a tweet.
मुझे तोड़ने में फेल हो गए,तो अब AAP के अन्य विधायको को 20-20 करोड़ का ऑफर देकर, रेड का डर दिखाकर उन्हें तोड़ने की साजिश शुरू कर दी
BJP संभल जाए, ये @ArvindKejriwal जी के सिपाही है,भगत सिंह के अनुयायी है। जान दे देंगे पर गद्दारी नहीं करेंगे। इनके सामने आपकी ED CBI किसी काम की नही

The education minister’s comments came after AAP MP Sanjay Singh claimed that four AAP MLAs were offered Rs 20 crore each to join the party.
Sanjay Singh, AAP’s national spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP, told a press conference here that the legislators – Ajay Dutt, Sanjeev Jha, Somnath Bharati, and Kuldeep – had been approached by leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) with whom they have “friendly relations.”
The BJP has threatened four AAP MLAs with CBI, ED, and false cases if they do not switch sides. “The BJP offered Rs 20 crores to four MLAs if they switched sides and Rs 25 crore if they brought other party leaders with them,” AAP MP Sanjay Singh was quoted as saying.

“They have each been offered Rs 20 crore to join the party and Rs 25 crore to bring other MLAs with them,” Singh said.
“They (BJP leaders) told our MLAs that if they don’t accept the offer and join the BJP, they will face false cases, the CBI, and the ED, just like (Delhi Deputy Chief Minister) Manish Sisodia,” he added.
The CBI is investigating Manish Sisodia for alleged corruption in the implementation of the Delhi excise policy. Sisodia claimed he was “offered the CM’s post” and the closure of all cases if he left the AAP and joined the BJP.
