AAP on Friday (January 10) alleged that the BJP is buying votes ahead of the Delhi assembly elections, claiming that the saffron party’s Delhi leaders have embezzled funds meant for “buying votes with money”.

Addressing a press conference, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh alleged that the BJP has allocated ₹10,000 per voter to its leaders for buying votes but only a fraction of the money reached the intended recipients.

“Instead of distributing the full amount, BJP leaders allegedly handed out only ₹1,000 or ₹ 1,100 to voters, pocketing the remaining ₹9,000 for themselves,” Singh said.

In response, Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva dismissed the allegations as baseless, claiming they reflect AAP’s desperation. “The words used by Arvind Kejriwal and his comrades in today’s political statement reflect their uncultured social upbringing as well as lack of political ethics,” Sachdeva said.
