Amidst the happenings in Bihar where Nitish Kumar is doing what he does best, i.e., lodge a new government with another coalition partner with himself remaining Chief Minister of the remodelled dispensation, which is more like a reshuffle than an overthrow or a change of government, comes an allegation from none other than Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal that “7 AAP MLAs have been threatened and offered Rs 25 crore (each) to topple the Delhi government.”
