Atishi Claims BJP Plans to Target AAP Leaders: Allegations of Arrest Threats and Political Pressure
Atishi, a Delhi minister, has made startling allegations against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), stating that she, along with fellow Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders Saurabh Bharadwaj, Durgesh Pathak, and Raghav Chadha, are at risk of arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). According to Atishi, she has been informed about potential ED raids on their residences followed by arrests. She asserts that this move is part of the BJP’s strategy to target the next line of AAP leadership.
In a bold revelation, Atishi claims she was approached to join the BJP through a personal contact. She alleges that she was given an ultimatum: either join the BJP to safeguard her political career or face arrest within the next month. Atishi further alleges that a close associate informed her of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s purported intention to incarcerate every AAP leader, beginning with Satyendar Jain, Manish Sisodia, and Sanjay Singh, and culminating with the arrest of herself and her fellow AAP leaders.
Atishi asserts that the BJP’s motive behind these alleged threats and pressure tactics is to weaken the AAP, especially after the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. She suggests that the BJP had anticipated the collapse of the AAP following Kejriwal’s arrest but became apprehensive upon witnessing the unity of opposition parties at the recent gathering in Ramlila Maidan.
In response to these allegations, Atishi emphasizes that the AAP leadership remains undeterred by the BJP’s tactics and is committed to serving the people of Delhi. She portrays the BJP’s actions as an attempt to undermine democracy and suppress political opposition.
The claims made by Atishi underscore the escalating tensions between the AAP and the BJP, highlighting the political polarization in Delhi’s landscape. As the situation unfolds, observers are keenly watching for any developments regarding the alleged targeting of AAP leaders by government agencies.
