If they have the guts, let them buy even one legislator," he said to applause from AAP members in the house, while the three BJP legislators walked out.He added that "the officer informed me that a businessman, whose name we often take, has been given responsibility to buy our 23 MLAs to topple our government".Kejriwal said the BJP, like the Congress earlier, had become "arrogant" after taking power nationally in 2014.He slammed the central government's decision to "force" President's Rule in Arunachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, calling them illegal.IANS
