Punjab Aam Aadmi Party president Bhagwant Mann on Sunday claimed that a senior BJP leader offered him money and a place in the Union cabinet to join the saffron party ahead of the state assembly elections next year. Addressing the media here, the Sangrur MP said that they cannot be bought with money or anything else.
Without naming anyone, Mann claimed that the senior BJP leader contacted him four days ago and asked him, “Man sahib, what will you do to join the BJP?” He alleged that he was also asked “you need money”. The AAP leader further claimed that he was told that he would be made a Union cabinet minister if he joined the BJP.
Mann, AAP’s lone MP from Punjab, said, “I told them (BJP leaders) that I am not on commission.” He said he told the BJP leader that there may be others that you can buy.
Mann said that it cannot be bought with money or anything else. When asked the name of the BJP leader, he said that he will reveal it when the time comes.
The AAP leader claimed that the BJP has no base in Punjab. BJP leaders were not allowed to enter villages and faced anger from farmers over agricultural laws repealed by the government last week.
