New Delhi: As the investigation of the Delhi liquor scam progresses, the war of words between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is intensifying. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has claimed that BJP’s Operation Lotus in Delhi has failed.
CM Kejriwal wrote in his tweet on Monday that Operation Lotus failed in Delhi. After this, he retweeted Manish Sisodia’s tweet and wrote “It means that the CBI and ED raids have nothing to do with the liquor policy and corruption? These raids were carried out only to topple the AAP government in Delhi. Like they have done in other states.”

Earlier in the day, the Deputy CM of Delhi wrote that the message of BJP has come to me – break “AAP” and come to BJP, will get all CBI and ED cases closed. “My reply to the BJP — I am a descendant of Maharana Pratap and a Rajput. I am ready to get beheaded but can never bow down before conspirators and corrupt people. All the cases against me are false. Do whatever you want to do,” Sisodia said in a tweet in Hindi.

My reply to BJP – I am a Rajput, a descendant of Maharana Pratap. I will cut off my head but will not bow down in front of the corrupt-conspirators. All the cases against me are false. Do whatever you want to do.
