NAGPUR: Reacting to the current political developments in Maharashtra, senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi on Thursday alleged that money for setting up schools and hospitals is being used to buy legislators.

Addressing a press conference in Nagpur, Atishi said that in today's politics of the country, elected legislators are jumping from one party to another.

"You see any state, how the BJP has formed government in Goa, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Manipur. Selling and purchasing of legislators has become a common phenomenon," the AAP leader claimed.

"If thousands of crores of rupees are being spent to buy and sell legislators, where is this money coming from? This is public money. The money meant for building schools and hospitals is being used to purchase legislators," she said.

Asked about the AAP's move for the forthcoming civil elections in Nagpur, where it is not present, Atishi said the party had won in each of these elections despite its absence in Delhi, Punjab and Surat (Gujarat).

When asked about AAP's plans for the civic election in Nagpur where the party doesn't have a presence, Atishi said the party had won in each of the elections despite its absence in Delhi, Punjab and Surat (Gujarat).

"People of Nagpur want change from the BJP. They voted for the BJP all these years because they had no alternative. Now they have a choice and the AAP is an alternative which will provide high-quality education and healthcare," she said.

She said the party would contest all the seats alone to give people the Delhi model in the upcoming municipal elections.

"The AAP has given its first guarantee to the people of Nagpur on June 18 to provide 15,000 litres of pure water free of cost. Today, we are giving them another guarantee, quality education," Atishi said.
