The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Monday released a video which showed some BJP leaders allegedly offering a plum post and money to an AAP legislator in a bid to form the government in Delhi.

Accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of indulging in horse trading, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal said that he won’t allow the party to form a government in Delhi using deceitful tactics.

“The BJP has been wooing our MLAs for the last one month but we will not let them come to power… They are betraying the people of Delhi,” Kejriwal said.

The video purportedly shows Delhi BJP vice president Sher Singh Dagar promising a plum post and money to AAP legislator Dinesh Mohaniya if he resigned from the assembly.

Releasing the video at a a press conference here, Arvind Kejriwal said: “The dirty game of the BJP is exposed today.”

He also said that his party will complain to the election commission.

Delhi has been under President’s rule since Kejriwal resigned as chief minister Feb 14 after just 49 days in office.

The BJP won 31 seats in the 70-member house but now has 28 legislators after three were elected to the Lok Sabha in the general elections held April-May.
