However, in the election backdrop, members of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) raised question over Manish Sisodia and Arvind Kejriwal.
BJP's Amit Malviya took onto twitter and said, "No OSD in a Deputy CM office can accept bribes without the knowledge of his political boss. There have been several allegations of corruption on Kejriwal and Sisodia in the past too."
