NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has filed a complaint with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders Parvesh Verma and Manjinder Singh Sirsa, accusing them of orchestrating a "vote-buying" operation by allegedly distributing cash to people ahead of Delhi Assembly elections, party leaders said on Thursday.

Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh submitted the complaint, urging ED to launch an investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in what he said was a "cash-for-vote scam".

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) refuted the allegations, saying that the AAP was trying to divert people's attention from their mistakes.
