AAP's Legal Notice To BJP Over Funding Accusations

The Aam Admi Party has sent a legal notice to the BJP for leveling false charges of illegal fund raising. The notice that has been sent to South Delhi MP Ramesh Bidhuri and Delhi BJP spokesperson Ashwini Upadhyay, asks both the gentlemen to respond within seven days and if they don’t, a criminal defamation case would be filed against the duo. The notice goes on the behalf of AAP general secretary Pankaj Gupta.

"Due to lack of transparency, the common man is wondering whether donation is being received at the rate of Rs 20,000 per plate or the funds of NGOs, which belonged to AAP leaders, are being diverted,"  Ramesh Bidhuri has said earlier this month in a press meet. Mr Bidhuri has also urged the AAP to bring to light the names of such persons who attended and donated for the party in such programs.

Reacting vehemently to the press meet, the AAP supremo Arving Kejriwal had threatened legal actions himself.

"The conference that you held, it is clear that not only you intend to defame my client but also to illegally and mischievously deter various persons and organisations to fund and support my client and its leaders causing set back to my client in the electoral field," the notice said.

Former IBN 7 editor and senior AAP leader Ashutosh has said that the system for funding for the Aam Admi Party is fairly transparent and any accusation against the same is sheer fallacy. Ashutosh, AAP's Delhi convener also urged the BJP to reveal the sources of its own funding.

It should be noted that this kind of allegations and counter allegations should be seen as a dress rehearsal for Delhi assembly election that is going to take place early next year.
