Kumar Vishwas is my brother, nobody can separate us: Kejriwal on AAP infighting

NEW DELHI: Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday claimed that some people are trying to create a rift between him and senior party leader Kumar Vishwas.

“Kumar Vishwas is my younger brother. Some people are trying to showcase a rift between us, such people are the enemy of the party. Nobody can separate us,” Kejriwal said in a tweet.

Earlier, another party MLA Amanatullah Khan alleged that Kumar Vishwas was conspiring to break the party and had asked some legislators to join the BJP with an offer of Rs 30 crore each.

This prompted Kejriwal to say that attempts were being made to create a rift between him and Kumar Vishwas, one of the founders of the AAP and a long-time friend of both Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia.

Khan circulated a WhatsApp message saying Kumar Vishwas had called some AAP MLAs to his home with the monetary offer at the behest of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

"Kumar Vishwas called some MLAs and asked them that he should be made the party convenor," said the legislator from Okhla in south Delhi.

Kumar Vishwas gave them the second offer "to join the BJP which was ready to pay Rs 30 crore to each one of them.

"I think all this is being done at the behest of the BJP," Khan said, adding four AAP MLAs had been tasked with arranging meetings of the party legislators with Kumar Vishwas.
