Opposition parties, including the BJP, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and the Congress, sharpened their attack against the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Punjab over the latter’s allegations that bribes were being offered to its (the AAP’s) legislators to topple the State government. They accused the AAP of trying to divert public attention from corruption cases linked to it.
The AAP hit back and said Opposition parties were working together to weaken democracy.
