AAP accuses BJP of 'offering' Rs 15 crores to leaders to switch sides

The Delhi Assembly elections have concluded, with polling for all 70 seats held peacefully on February 5. The final results are set to be announced on Saturday, February 8. Meanwhile, multiple exit polls have predicted victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), indicating that it is likely to form the next government in the national capital. 

Amid the exit poll projections, AAP’s national convenor and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has responded for the first time, raising serious allegations against the predictions. Taking to X, the former Delhi Chief Minister also launched an indirect attack on the BJP, accusing it of attempting to poach AAP candidates to join the party.



Delhi Chief Minister Atishi and senior party leader Sanjay Singh also echoed Kejriwal's claims. 

Meanwhile, Delhi BJP Chief Virendra Sachdeva reacted to Kejriwal's claims and issued a stern warning to AAP leader Sanjay Singh, demanding that he retract his allegations against the party and issue an apology. If not, he must be prepared to face legal consequences, said Sachdeva. "Sanjay Singh should remember that their Chief Minister, Ms. Atishi Marlena, is out on bail in a similar case involving false allegations of offering money to legislators. Sanjay Singh's accusation that the BJP is trying to lure AAP's MLA candidates with inducements is a result of his desperation," Sachdeva added.
