Bharti claimed Jung threatened to register a police case against him during the meeting of Delhi Development Authority (DDA) today. The meeting took place at the Raj Niwas to "confirm" the minutes of the previous meet held on September 23, in which Bharti was "not present".
"...The Delhi government had given several requests for land for schools and hospitals. Nothing is happening on that end and here land is being given to the BJP for political purpose, which was earlier alloted for building a nursery school. They were not ready to discuss the issue.
Bharti also claimed that Jung had also asked whether anyone was recording the meeting.
The LG's office, however, denied the charges made by Bharti. "There was some argument between BJP leaders and Somnath Bharti. He was creating ruckus in the meeting. His charge of LG threatening is totally baseless and LG's office strongly rubbishes the charge," an official at the LG secretariat said.

"They said, I was better in jail. This shows the BJP is misusing the police. They are showing AAP legislators and workers the threat of police to shut our mouth," Bharti said.
Apart from Bharti, Sharma, Upadhyaya, AAP's Krishna Nagar MLA S K Bagga is also a member of DDA.
Meanwhile, the DDA said Bharti created a "situation" saying, "He (Bharti) was not present in the last meeting when the decision was taken to move the proposal to public objections and suggestion phase. And, in today's meeting he wanted that decision to be reverted," the official said.
