BJP threatens leaders to either join their party or go to jail, says AAP MP Raghav Chadha
AAP is not afraid of going to jail as it has emerged out of a movement, said Raghav Chadha.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Raghav Chadha on Monday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the alleged misuse of central probe agencies, stating that there are politicians in BJP who have corruption charges but all the cases went to the back burner when they joined BJP.
His remarks come amid the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) interrogation of AAP leaders in the Delhi excise policy scam. The central agencies are interrogating former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia, Telangana CM KCR’s daughter and BRS leader K Kavitha among others in the now-scrapped liquor case.
Speaking to the media, Rajendra Nagar constituency MP said that AAP members are not afraid of going to jail, as they have emerged out of a movement. He further said that the party members have the capability to raise the issues by themselves. And we [AAP leaders] are not alone, all the citizens of this country are with them, he said, adding, that they will raise the issue of misuse of central agencies peacefully.
He further said the issue is not restricted to one person or one party. Sanjay Raut, Tejashwi Yadav, K Kavitha, Manish Sisodia. All of them are being probed on instructions from the Centre. If these leaders join BJP, all the investigations will stop, he concluded his statement.
Alleging the BJP of misusing their powers, the AAP leader said there are a huge number of politicians who had corruption allegations against their name. But, once they joined BJP, all the cases were put on stall. He said BJP threaten leaders to either join their party or go to jail. AAP is not afraid of going to jail as it has emerged out of a movement, he added.
He alleged that due to political reasons, the agencies are being forced to either find or create any evidence against any opposition party leaders. The purpose of this is to put them [oppositions] in prison, he claimed.
