News Desk, Kolkata : Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal faced yet another raid by the Income Tax department for the fifth consecutive time. The Chief Minister, also the head of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), accused the Delhi Police of repeatedly targeting him under the guise of conducting raids. The latest raid took place on Friday evening, with a team from the Delhi Police’s Crime Branch directly reaching Kejriwal’s residence. The reasons behind the repeated visits by the Delhi Police, which operates under the jurisdiction of the Central Home Ministry, remain unclear.
The ongoing political tussle between the ‘Bharatiya Janata Party’ (BJP) and the ‘Aam Aadmi Party’ seems to be escalating, with Kejriwal alleging that seven AAP legislators have been offered bribes totaling ₹25 crores by the BJP. However, the BJP has dismissed these allegations as baseless. In response, the Delhi Police, in view of the corruption charges, has issued a notice to Kejriwal. The political drama is unfolding against the backdrop of BJP’s attempts to topple the Delhi government.
Atishi, a minister in the Delhi government and an AAP legislator, had previously claimed to have evidence of the BJP trying to buy out AAP legislators with a recorded conversation. Though the authenticity of the evidence was questioned, the BJP filed a counter-complaint, leading to the Delhi Police’s notice to Kejriwal. Harish Khurana, the spokesperson for Delhi BJP, challenged Atishi to reveal the names of the seven legislators allegedly approached by the BJP.
Adding a recent update, Kejriwal’s claims of constant harassment by the Income Tax department have gained momentum. Last week, he held a press conference, presenting recordings of a conversation between an AAP legislator and a BJP representative discussing attempts to lure AAP legislators. While the BJP denied the allegations, the political climate in Delhi is heating up.
In a surprising twist, Atishi, the minister who initially made the bribery allegations, has faced a challenge from Harish Khurana. He revealed that the BJP is ready to release the names of the seven legislators mentioned by Atishi and emphasized that the BJP has not engaged in any unethical practices. The political intrigue deepens as both parties trade accusations and counterclaims.
This recent episode is just one chapter in the ongoing power struggle between the AAP-led Delhi government and the BJP. Kejriwal’s repeated encounters with the Income Tax department and the Delhi Police have raised questions about the motives behind these actions. The BJP, on the other hand, is striving to make inroads into the Delhi government, capitalizing on internal disputes within the AAP.
As the political saga unfolds, the citizens of Delhi are left grappling with uncertainties about the stability of their government. The intricate web of allegations, counter-allegations, and the involvement of law enforcement agencies adds complexity to the narrative. With both parties digging in their heels, the political landscape of Delhi remains unpredictable.
In conclusion, the political theatre in Delhi continues to captivate with its twists and turns. The power struggle between the AAP and the BJP, marked by allegations of bribery, raids, and counterclaims, keeps the public on the edge. The evolving narrative reflects the complexities of Indian politics, where power dynamics and political maneuvering play a crucial role in shaping the destiny of a state.
