Which BJP leader spoke to Kejriwal?

Aam Aadmi Party supremo and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal talks to the press a lot. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also uses the media but he does not hold press conferences. Their communication remains one-sided. On the other hand Kejriwal holds press conferences and also gives interviews to the media. But no journalist cross-questioning him. They are not asked supplementary questions. As he gave interviews to two major media groups in Gujarat, he claimed that the BJP had proposed to him that his ministers would be released if he did not contest the Gujarat elections.

No one questioned this claim of Kejriwal. He was not even asked the basic question that who made this offer to him on behalf of the BJP? It is not that BJP is someone who talked to Kejriwal and offered him! If this has happened then surely someone must have made this offer. Kejriwal should tell who is the person who offered him that if he does not contest the Gujarat elections, his ministers – Satyendar Jain and Manish Sisodia will be released, the cases against him will be dropped?

Kejriwal was also not asked when this offer was given to him and why he did not disclose it at the same time. Somebody made this offer to them over the phone or did they talk face to face together? Did any BJP leader directly talk to him or got the offer through Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh or any other leader? Is it that when the CBI was interrogating Sisodia in the liquor scam, any CBI officer or a peon of the CBI headquarters made this proposal? Did Satyendra Jain, who is lodged in Tihar Jail, not get this offer through the jailer or any prisoner?

Think, when Kejriwal got the offer, he did not tell and now when he disclosed, he is not revealing anyone’s name! They never name names. Some time back he had claimed that the BJP tried to topple the government in Delhi and Punjab by buying out his MLAs. But even then it did not say who spoke to their MLAs on behalf of the BJP. In both the states, the government proved its majority by convening a special session of the Legislative Assembly, but did not name anyone. Even if there was a case in Punjab, against unknown people. In Delhi, no complaint was even lodged with the police. Even before in politics, leaders used to talk concocted, but not so much as the Aam Aadmi Party does.
