The Election Commission issued a notice to Delhi Minister Atishi over her claim that AAP leaders would be arrested unless they joined the BJP...

Delhi Minister Atishi was served a notice by the Election Commission on Friday, seeking a response on her 'join BJP or face jail' claim...

On April 2, Atishi said four senior leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), including herself, would be arrested soon, claiming the BJP approached her through a "very close" person to join it or be prepared to be nabbed by the Enforcement Directorate within a month...

The entire Aam Aadmi Party was involved in the "liquor scam" and its leaders were fighting among themselves over the apprehension about who would be the next "sacrificial lamb", he said.. "Since Kejriwal has stated that the excise policy case accused and AAP leader Vijay Nair, who is in jail, used to report to Atishi and Bharadwaj, the AAP leaders are fighting among them..

Atishi by saving her skin has led Chadha and Pathak in trouble," the Delhi BJP chief said.. Bharadwaj said Nair had given his statement one and half years ago and the BJP leaders were "using" it now, which showed the party's "absurd political strategy"...
