'BJP Approached 10 Punjab AAP MLAs'

Kejriwal also claimed that the BJP approached 10 MLAs of the Aam Admi Party (AAP) government in Punjab and alleged it was buying MLAs and breaking governments.

The ruling AAP in Punjab on Tuesday accused the BJP of offering Rs 20-25 crore each to its MLAs in an attempt to topple the Bhagwant Mann government in the state.

The Punjab BJP dubbed the allegations as "baseless" and "bundle of lies" and said AAP is trying to divert attention of people from its "failures".
