In the meeting, the political leaders will most likely to discuss on the strategy of how BJP allegedly attempted to overthrow the Delhi government, reported news agency ANI.

This new information arrived hours after Kejriwal called for a meeting of Political Affairs Committee at 4 on Wednesday at his residence to discuss on these same issues.

Earlier in the day, AAP leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia alleged BJP of allegedly trying to trade AAP leaders by offering them a bribe of 20 crore each.

AAP asserted that the BJP had contacted four of its MLAs in Delhi and urged them to defect to the saffron party in order to avoid "false cases, the CBI, and the ED".

“Some AAP MLAs have told me that they are being threatened to quit the party; This is a serious matter," Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has said.

AAP's national spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh had said that leaders of BJP have contacted the legislators Ajay Dutt, Sanjeev Jha, Somnath Bharati, and Kuldeep.

"They have been offered 20 crore each if they join the party and 25 crore if they bring other MLAs along with them," Singh said.

"They (BJP leaders) told our MLAs that if they do not accept the offer and join the BJP, they will also have to face false cases, the CBI and the ED like (Delhi Deputy Chief Minister) Manish Sisodia is facing," he added.
