There is a major political uproar in the national capital city of Delhi. Investigations have been ordered into the claims by AAP leaders about receiving calls from BJP with offers of 150 million. Following the orders of Delhi's LG VK Saxena, teams from the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) have set off for the residences of AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal, Sanjay Singh, and Mukesh Ahlawat.
The LG stated that there should be a thorough investigation through the ACB to bring the truth of this matter to light.
Delhi BJP General Secretary Vishnu Mittal requested Delhi's Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena to instruct the ACB and any other investigative bodies to file a FIR and probe into the allegations by Arvind Kejriwal and Sanjay Singh of 150 million rupee bribe offers made to 7 current AAP legislators.

'We are heading to the ACB office ourselves...'
AAP leader Sanjay Singh expressed, "While we are lodging complaints, they are putting on a show. I am going to the ACB office with my lawyer to file a complaint, let the ACB show its actions. I have released the phone number revealing where calls were received and offers made—what more evidence is required? We are heading to the ACB office ourselves to lodge a complaint."
Sanjay Singh questioned whether the ACB was waiting for a complaint from BJP. He asked why no action was taken when a press conference was held. More than 16 individuals have been contacted; we have released one number. If the ACB proceeds, further information will be disclosed.
'BJP has launched Operation Lotus...'
A day after the assembly elections, AAP's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh accused that 7 AAP legislators received calls offering 150 million rupees if they left AAP to join BJP. He claimed that the BJP has started its Operation Lotus in Delhi. Sanjay Singh assured that names and evidence would be shared soon.
Sanjay Singh stated, 'Seven legislators from AAP have received calls from BJP offering them 150 million to leave AAP and join BJP... We have advised the legislators to record such audio calls and file complaints. If anyone meets them, capture it secretly on a camera... The BJP has already accepted its impending defeat even before the vote count and has begun breaking parties in Delhi, just like other parts of the country.'

He further wrote, "I want to tell them that the respect given to me by Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party will remain with me for life. I will never abandon my party."
