Looking to corner AAP ahead of the upcoming polls, BJP today came up with five more questions for the rival outfit and wondered as to why it was bringing volunteers from outside to campaign for it and also sought an explanation for its failure to get back to the Election Commission with its poll expenses.
In a fresh instalment of questions for the Arvind Kejriwal -led party, BJP sought to know why AAP had to 'import' volunteers from other nations and why it had not provided details of its Lok Sabha expenses to the Election Commission.
BJP charged that AAP had scant regard for institutions like EC as Kejriwal was repeatedly defying its orders with the threat of moving high court against it.

It also sought to know from AAP as to how many times had it raised the issue of strengthening the Lokayukta in Delhi during its 49-day stint in power here.
Union minister and BJP leader Nirmala Sitharaman said that although some questions posed to AAP may seem old to some people, the saffron outfit would nonetheless continue to raise these as people of Delhi need the answers to them before making up their mind before the polls.
"For AAP, it's a knee-jerk reaction to brazenly ask for 50 questions. Don't show off as if you are not worried. You are worried because you have not given the answers.
"It is not entertainment as we are coming with some kind of seriousness on the matter. We will continue to ask questions till they are answered. It is your (AAP's) responsibility to answer these questions in politics," she said.
Sitharaman said BJP never runs away from debates, "but the DNA of AAP is to not have debates. The DNA of AAP is to hit and run. The DNA of AAP is to scoot after making some kind of a shooting. If their intention for a debate is genuine, then they should have answered these questions".
BJP sought to ask Kejriwal to explain why AAP had "outsourced" its work and was bringing in volunteers from foreign countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan and Dubai to campaign for the party here.
