Aam Aadmi Party's five MCD councillors switched to the Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday in the presence of senior leaders of the party's Delhi unit.
Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva, in a media briefing during the joining, alleged that these councillors were troubled due to pressure to indulge in corruption and gather crowds for AAP leaders.
Ramchandra (Ward 28), Pawan Sehrawat (Ward 30), Mamata Pawan (Ward 177), Sugandha Bidhuri (Ward 178) and Manju Nirmal of Ward 180, are the Municipal Corporation of Delhi councillors who switched to BJP.
BJP MPs Ramvir Singh Bidhuri and Yogender Chandolia and senior party leader Arvinder Singh Lovely were present at the event.
