**New Delhi, February 6, 2025** – A day after Delhi Assembly elections, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of attempting to bribe seven AAP candidates with ₹15 crore each to switch parties. Singh, speaking at a press conference, claimed the BJP is resorting to “Operation Lotus,” a term used to describe alleged attempts by the BJP to poach MLAs from opposition parties. While he did not name the candidates or those making the alleged offers, Singh stated that evidence would be provided at a later date. He revealed that the AAP has instructed its MLAs to record any future attempts at bribery, both phone calls and in-person meetings.

The BJP vehemently denied the allegations. Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva dismissed Singh’s claims as the desperate accusations of a party facing imminent defeat. Sachdeva attributed the allegations to AAP’s frustration after the election results.

The accusations come amidst heightened political tension following the Delhi Assembly elections. The outcome of the election remains pending.
