Rajya Sabha MP Vikram Sahney, one of the seven leaders who quit Aam Aadmi Party, revealed that he met with AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal days before the merger with the BJP.
In an interview with NDTV, industrialist and philanthropist Sahney said, “I met with Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday… I told him, even if one-two MPs resign (from the Rajya Sabha), then the two-thirds figure will be achieved with just five (more) MPs."
The Rajya Sabha MP further said that Kejriwal was unconvinced regarding Sandeep Pathak's possible resignation.
Kejriwal and others in the AAP have not yet reacted to Sahney's claims about a meeting and conversation.
Sahney later posted on X on Sunday: “There’s a misleading narrative circulating that I may have informed Arvind Kejriwal about two-third of AAP MPs leaving.”
He said that Kejriwal called him for a meeting on Wednesday, April 22. “During the meeting, he asked me whether I was under any pressure, to which I clearly said no. He then suggested that I may consider resigning from my MPship, and I responded that I would think about it — that’s all. We were supposed to meet on Friday by which time press conference happened,” he wrote.
