Former Delhi minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Somnath Bharti on Friday said one can hold a good position in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after working in the Kejriwal led-AAP for four to five months.
"If you want a good position in the BJP, then what you have to do is work for four to five months in the AAP, and then the BJP will give you the ticket, and even make you a CM candidate if you have any affiliation," he told ANI.
Bharti also said that the saffron party does not have it own leaders to represent the party.
"BJP uses leaders the same Kiran Bediji who once fought for India Against Corruption, the same Shazia Ilmi, the same Ashwini Upadhyay," he said.
Both Kiran Bedi and Shazia Ilmi are the newly recruited BJP leaders.
