A day after the CBI questioned the Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia over the previous excise policy scam, the BJP and the AAP traded charges against each other of spreading lies.
Delhi BJP leaders Tuesday challenged Sisodia to appear for a narco test over his allegations that the CBI tried to pressure him into quitting the AAP and joining the BJP, or step down from his post for "lying" while AAP leader called for PM Modi’s Narco Test and branded him as ‘The Biggest Liar Of The Century’.
West Delhi BJP MP Parvesh Verma said if Sisodia is an honest leader he should agree to a narco test or resign for making allegations against CBI officials. "If any CBI officer has asked Sisodia to join BJP then he should name that officer.
If he can not do so, he should either prepare for the narco test or resign from his post," Verma said in a press conference. Another Delhi BJP leader Kapil Mishra said Sisodia should either undergo narco and lie-detected tests or tender an apology for "lying".
Mishra, a former minister in the Arvind Kejriwal government, said the allegations by Sisodia, an accused in the Delhi Excise policy case, should be seen as a "shameless" attempt to "influence" the probe.
Speaking to reporters, Mishra hit back at the AAP leader and said, "I challenge Sisodia to face a narco or a lie detector test to find out the truth or (he should) take back his statement against the CBI and tender an apology by the evening."
AAP Chief Spokesperson and MLA Saurabh Bhardwaj said that PM Modi is a serial liar, he speaks the highest number of lies amongst all politicians, BJP must get his Narco Test done. PM lied to the nation, said he’ll bring back black money in 100 days, and put 15 lacs in everyone’s bank account.
“Can PM Modi take the Narco Test and tell if CBI-ED are neutral agencies, whether or not he waived off loans worth 10 lac crores to help his friends. PM Modi holds the record for outrightly speaking huge lies to the nation without any guilt.” Bhardwaj added.
