New Delhi: Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) leader Kapil Mishra on Tuesday challenged Delhi Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia to undertake a lie detector and narco test over his allegations that during an interrogation by the CBI he was pressurised to leave the Aam Aadmi Party and join the BJP.
โManish Sisodia comes out after interrogation and gives false statements about officers of top central agencies. I challenge him to either apologise or face media by 5 pm today and say heโs ready for a lie detector test and Narco test,โ the BJP leader said. Sisodia after his interrogation on Monday alleged that the whole case against him is fake and they said โtheyโll make me Chief Ministerโ.
โToday I saw in the CBI office that thereโs no issue of any scam (excise policy case). The whole case is fake. I understood all that in the nine hour-questioning today. The case isnโt to probe any scam against me, but to make Operation Lotus successful in Delhi,โ Sisodia said.
โI was asked inside the CBI office to leave (AAP), or else such cases will keep getting registered against me. I was told โSatyendar Jain ke upar konse sachhe cases hain?โโฆI said I wonโt leave AAP for BJP. They said theyโll make me CM,โ he alleged.
The CBI also issued a statement refuting Sisodiaโs allegations made to the media and asserted that he was examined strictly on the allegations in the FIR and the evidence collected so far during the course of the investigation.

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra yesterday lashed out at the Deputy CMโs statement and said it was an โOperation Non-cooperationโ and โJashn-e-Bhrashtacharโ from Sisodia and other AAP leaders and โthey are trying to convert vice into victoryโ.
While replying to Sisodiaโs statement post-CBI interrogation, Sambit Patra told ANI that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, both are looking for an opportunity in politics in the disaster of corruption.
Asked about Sisodiaโs denying the allegations of irregularities in the โDelhi Excise Policyโ, Patra said, โHave you ever seen someone committing the crime after coming out of the interrogation.โ
โThey both (Sisodia and Kejriwal) are looking for an opportunity in politics in the disaster of corruption. This is a Jashn-e-Bhrashtachaarโ, Patra underlined. Adding that Kejriwal and Sisodia are trying to convert a vice into a victory.
