9.30 am: AAP planning to protest outside Jaitley's Delhi home

AAP leaders have said that they will hold a protest outside BJP leader Arun Jaitley's residence in Kailash colony.

The protests come a day after AAP MLA Madan Lal revealed he had got bribe offers from people claiming to be close to Jaitley, to help pull down the AAP government. He was however unable to provide proof of the same.

Only a principled man like me could say no to them," said Lal about the 'intermediaries' he refused to name.

The BJP has angrily reacted to the allegations, calling them 'rubbish' and 'nonsense'.

BJP Delhi leader Harsh Vardhan told Firstpost that AAP's allegations were baseless. "It's all nonsense and completely wrong. Everyday they come up with a new lie. They can keep saying what they want to," a visibly agitated Vardhan said.

BJP leader Arun Jaitley also rubbished the claims on his Twitter account. His tweet read, "Rubbish claims by AAP. AAP's alternative politics includes a fundamental right to falsehood and lies."

AAP spokesman Ashutosh told CNN-IBN that they were protesting because they want to tell people how BJP is trying to malign the Delhi government.
