Defamation complaint filed against Arvind Kejriwal, Atishi before Delhi court

Bhartiya Janata Party leader Praveen Shankar Kapoor has filed a defamation case against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Cabinet minister Atishi due to poaching allegations made by leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party, reported The Indian Express on Tuesday.

On January 27, Kejriwal alleged that the BJP had offered Rs 25 crore each to seven Aam Aadmi Party MLAs to quit Delhi’s ruling party and topple his government.

Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi alleged on the same day that the BJP had launched “Operation Lotus 2.0” in Delhi. “They had made a similar attempt to poach AAP MLAs last year by offering them money but failed,”
