Accusing the BJP of horse trading, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said the party approached as many as seven AAP MLAs and offered Rs 10 crore each to its lawmakers.

“In the past three days, seven of our MLAs have told us that BJP has approached them and has offered Rs 10 crore each to buy them. They want to break our MLAs, this doesn’t suit Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A day before, Modi had said that he will buy 40 MLAs of Mamata Banerjee and make her government fall,” Kejriwal was quoted as saying by new agency ANI.
