AAP leaders, including its convener Mr Kejriwal, alleged that seven MLAs of the party were offered Rs 25 crore each and a BJP ticket to contest polls if they switched sides.

Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said that Chief Minister ...

While the proliferation of drones takes place in the subcontinent, we have a plan to boost our air defence capabiliti...
