AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal’s tweets accusing the BJP of corrupt practices has prompted the Delhi BJP to sent a legal notice to Kejriwal, asking him to desist from making “defamatory” allegations.
The party unit has demanded Rs 5 crore as damages.
In the notice, sent through advocate Neeraj, the Delhi BJP said the “allegations and imputations” made against the BJP and its top leaders were a “figment of imagination”.
“You are hereby called upon to desist and restrain yourself from making false, defamatory, malicious and unsubstantiated allegations aforesaid or of any other nature imputed to BJP,” the notice said and also called for a public apology from Kejriwal to the Delhi BJP.
The legal notice also claimed that the allegations made by Kejriwal were not only defamatory, but also “corrupt practice within the meaning of the Representation of People Act”.
Kejriwal, in a recent tweet, had accused the BJP of asking its Delhi MLAs to buy “fake votes”, and had claimed that the AAP would approach the Election Commission with a complaint in this regard.
Speaking to Newsline, Delhi BJP chief Satish Upadhyay said the AAP was indulging in a “politics of tweets without any evidence”.
“Kejriwal is doing politics of tweets without having any evidence to support the tweets. We have sent a legal notice to him,” he said.
