IT sends notice to AAP on Rs 2 crore funds

New Delhi, Feb 11 (IBNS): The Income Tax department has sent a notice to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) questioning an election funding of Rs 2 crore from some sources that had raised a controversy of ill gotten money being accepted by the party that swept the Delhi polls a day ago bagging 67 of the 70 seats, said media reports on Wednesday.

According to a report in Times Now, the notice is of some questions on the funds and the AAP has to reply to it by Feb 16.

AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal will take oath as Chief Minister of Delhi on Feb 14.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) earlier had rejected allegations made against it by a breakaway group of receiving donations from bogus companies and called their claims as 'malicious and false propaganda'.

"The BJP and some mysterious fronts created by it close to Delhi assembly elections have unleashed a malicious and false propaganda on the funding of the Aam Aadmi Party," the AAP said in a statement before the polls.

The AAP also challenged the BJP-led NDA central government to probe its funding from any of the agencies.

The Aam Aadmi Volunteer Action Munch (AVAM), comprising former party members,  in a media briefing before polls alleged that the AAP got funds worth Rs 2 crore from companies which were only trying to evade tax.

AAP claims that all AAP donations are transparently published on the website and AAP is the only party that has voluntarily agreed to come under the RTI law. AAP had raised nearly Rs 30 crore for Delhi elections.
