Manish Sisodia's claim: BJP approached him with offer to close all cases against him if he join their party
New Delhi, August 22: Amid the ongoing probe into the Delhi excise policy case, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Monday alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party has offered to close all CBI and ED cases if he quits AAP and joins the saffron party.
Taking to Twitter, Sisodia claimed that he has received an offer by the BJP to join them by splitting the AAP in return for getting the cases of CBI and ED against him closed. "My reply to the BJP is - I am a descendant of Maharana Pratap, a Rajput. I will cut off my head but will not bow down to the corrupt and those who conspire. All the cases against me are false. Do what you want to do," Sisodia said on Twitter.
Earlier on Friday, CBI conducted searches on Sisodia's official residence and carried out raids at several places in connection with the alleged irregularities in the implementation of Delhi's Excise Policy.
The Aam Aadmi Party has however said the allegations of corruption are politically motivated.

Taking to Twitter, Kejriwal on Monday said: "Rupee is falling, people are troubled by inflation, unemployment is at a high and these people are playing 'CBI-ED', and are busy toppling governments chosen by people and exchanging abuses and barbs the entire day."
"Who do people talk to about their issues and whom should they go to? How will the nation progress like this?" he added.
Meanwhile, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia left for Gujarat for a two-day visit. They are set to address a town hall meeting in Himmatnagar and a town hall meeting in Bhavnagar on Tuesday.
