Leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta on Friday alleged that many AAP MLAs were running extortion rackets and were forcing shopkeepers, industrialists and wholesalers in their respective constituency to give weekly payoffs to avoid harassment.
He urged lieutenant-governor Najeeb Jung to order a high-level inquiry into the issue. “If it is not nipped in bud, it will have serious repercussions on Delhi’s trade and business culture,” he added.
Giving an instance of extortion by the AAP MLA of Adarsh Nagar Assembly constituency, Mr Gupta said that the ration shop owners in that area alleged that the area MLA has been demanded Rs 20,000 per month from them.
