A day after Aam Aadmi Party stunned the BJP after it bagged 14 seats out of 35 wards in the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation election, AAP leader Raghav Chadha alleged that “BJP senior leaders had contacted three of his councillors and offered Rs 50 to 75 lakh to join them.” Chadha on Tuesday said that two councillors got Rs 50 lakh offer while one was offered Rs 75 lakh and now “they are installing secret cameras at all of their councillors’ houses and also have begun recording all the phone conversations and BJP may not try to contact them else all the conversations would be made public.”
To make mayor, a party needs 19 candidates. It is a hung corporation as of now with AAP getting 14 seats, BJP getting 12, Congress 8 and SAD one seat. BJP also has one additional vote, that of their Member of Parliament Kirron Kher as the ex officio member of the house, which makes the count to 13.
On Tuesday while addressing the media persons, AAP leader Raghav Chadha said, “BJP has indulged in horse trading now. They have gone to the extent that three of our councillors have been contacted by the BJP and offered money. They said whatever amount you will peg, they will give that.” Chadha went on to explain the conversation, “BJP ke boht bade neta ne kaha hamare councillors ko ki aap jitni rakam maangoge utni denge… jo auda maangoge wo denge… par aap hamare ko join karlijiye… ek union minister ne ye bhi kaha call pe ki hum aapki greh mantri or Nadda ji se mulakat bhi karva denge”.
