By Our Special Correspondent

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Monday claimed that the BJP had offered him the post of chief minister if he split the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

Addressing a press conference in Ahmedabad, Sisodia said he was surprised to receive a message that he had two offers from the BJP.

"The messenger said that all major cases registered against me by CBI-ED will be withdrawn. Another is that I will break the party and they will make me chief minister," the AAP leader claimed. I gave them a clear answer. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is my political mentor and I learned politics from him. I did not enter politics to become CM or Prime Minister, Sisodia said.

Earlier, he had claimed on Twitter that he had received an offer to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and close all CBI and ED cases against him. He said that he refused the offer saying that he was a Rajput and a descendant of Maharana Pratap.
