The administrator of Pune Confessions page on Facebook on Thursday alleged that two persons, claiming to be Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers, offered him money and a good post in the party if he posted good material about their party.
Pune Confessions has a fan following of over 16,000 followers mainly students, who can post their thoughts through its administrator. Amitesh Singh, a third year engineering student, is the official administrator of Pune Confessions.
“My group is not like any other confession group where the page is always filled with people posting their love affairs and speaking in a derogatory manner. This page has surpassed these cliches and has become the talk of the town for its uniqueness. I as a administrator am using this platform to educate masses by keeping them updated about daily happenings in the city, politics, traffic woes, bribery culture and women’s safety,” he said.
He said that some days ago a person called him up, introduced himself as an AAP worker and offered him money and a good position in the party and asked him to put positive posts about AAP.
“I however refused to do so asked him his name. However, he refused to reveal his name and hung up,” said Singh.
He added, “After some days, I received a message from another number in which the the sender asked me to come to Sarasbaug for the meeting.”
He said that if AAP claims to be anti-corruption crusaders, then how come their party workers were calling up and offering money and the party post.
While speaking to dna, Aabha Muley from AAP, Pune refuted the claims of Singh and said that no one could do such an act from their party.
“It could be mischief done by somebody in the name of AAP. However, we are ready to investigate if he provides us the numbers on which he received the call and message,” she said.
She said she will personally speak to Singh and try to get the details.
