In a major embarrassment for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), some labourers attending its chief Arvind Kejriwal's rally in Haryana's Hisar today alleged that they were promised Rs 350 and free food to gather there in large numbers.

Speaking to news agency ANI, the men wearing white T-shirts with AAP slogans emblazoned on them expressed dismay over not being 'paid' as promised to attend the rally.

"We were promised Rs 350 and free lunch but we haven't received anything so far. They say the money is stuck somewhere," one man said.

Complaining about the delay in their payment, many men surrounded the ANI cameraperson and voiced disappointment over losing their daily wage.

Meanwhile, the AAP in its defence called it a handiwork of the BJP.

Refuting all such allegations, the party's Haryana chief Naveen Jaihind said that the BJP made some people wear AAP caps and asked them to give interviews.

In a direct attack on BJP president Amit Shah, Jaihind added, "Rs 1,000 are given to people to attend his [Amit Shah's] rallies and they still don't go, why would anyone come to ours for Rs 300?"
