Pressured to join BJP but I won't, says Kejriwal; BJP dismisses allegation
The Morning Standard
|February 05, 2024
DELHI Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday alleged that pressure was being exerted on him to join the BJP, but he will never do that.
"Won't join BJP, not going to bend," Kejriwal said.
The BJP dismissed his claim as an attempt to "distract and trick" the people of Delhi.
Addressing an event in north-west Delhi, the AAP chief claimed the BJP wanted them to join the party but he was firm on not doing so.
"They can hatch any conspiracy against us but nothing is going to happen. I am standing firm against them and I am not going to bow," the Delhi Chief Minister said.
"They say 'come and join BJP and we will leave you alone.' Why should we join BJP?" Kejriwal said.
