NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party‘s (AAP) office in Bhopal, operating from a leased house, has been locked by the landlord allegedly due to three months of unpaid rent.
“All this happens when we work with honesty. Things will improve. We are honest. Right now, our party does not have funds. So we couldn’t do it,” AAP’s Madhya Pradesh joint secretary Ramakant Patel told PTI over the phone.
Patel added that the party relies on local funds, but workers are facing financial difficulties. “I won’t know about the amount of office rent and the time since it has not been paid,” he said.
Taking a swipe, BJP state spokesperson Narendra Saluja wrote on X, “AAP’s MP office locked, next number is of Congress.”
The incident comes in the wake of AAP’s crushing defeat in the Delhi assembly polls, where the BJP secured 48 out of 70 seats, leaving Arvind Kejriwal’s party with just 22.
