The BJP on Friday accused AAP leader Mukesh Goel of demanding money from a junior engineer from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi for giving gifts to party leaders.
No immediate response was available from Goel or the AAP to the BJP’s allegations.
AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal should immediately sack Goel from the party, BJP national spokesman Sambit Patra said at a press conference while showing a video of the alleged sting operation on Goel.
“Goel demanded Rs a crore from the MCD junior engineer and said it was necessary to give Diwali gifts to 100-150 chiefs,” Patra claimed.
The BJP leader further claimed that Goel was the “right-hand man” of Kejriwal, who never made a decision on MCD matters without consulting him.
Goel is the AAP candidate of the Adarsh Nagar chapter in the MCD polls.
Goel, a five-time city councilman, left Congress last November and joined the AAP.
The MCD with 250 wards will go to the polls on December 4 and the vote count will take place on December 7.
