The AAP leaders will meet with the President of India, Droupadi Murmu on September 7 to submit a complaint against the BJP's ‘Operation Lotus.’
“I’m happy to share that the Hon’ble President has given time to meet a delegation of @AamAadmiParty MLAs on 7th September. We had sought time to apprise her on ‘Operation Lotus’ - a serious threat to democracy in India!,” Atishi, the AAP MLA from Kalkaji tweeted.
“A delegation of the Aam Aadmi Party MLAs wants to meet her to discuss ‘Operation Lotus’ - the attempts of BJP to destabilise State Governments across the country. The BJP has bought a whopping 277 MLAs from other parties to topple Governments in various States and form its own,” said Atishi.
“BJP is at the helm of affairs at the Centre. It has already toppled Governments in States like Arunachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Goa, Madhya Pradesh. They buy MLAs and topple the Governments of other parties. Then they form their own Government against the mandate of the people. It is murder of democracy," she claimed.
She also alleged that the BJP tried to buy 40 AAP MLAs. “During the meeting, the party delegation will submit a complaint against the BJP campaign and will also demand an investigation into where they amass such a huge amount of money from,” she said.
The AAP had claimed that the saffron party had made attempts to "poach" its MLAs but their attempts were foiled since theirs is a 'hardcore honest' party while the BJP had called for a probe into their allegations.
