AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal has accused the rival BJP of trying to poach his party candidates ahead of the results of the Delhi elections. Hitting back, the BJP has threatened to take legal action if they don't drop the allegation.

Taking it to X, AAP Chief Kejriwal on Thursday claimed that 16 AAP candidates had received offers from the BJP with the promise of ministerial positions and rupees 15 crore each if they switched sides.

In a post on social media X, Kejriwal indirectly accused the BJP of attemting to poach AAP candidates to join the party. Delhi Chief Minister Atishi also echoed the same allegations. BJP has vehemently dismissed the allegations.

Kejriwal alleged that 16 AAP candidates were offered ₹15 crore each to join the BJP. "In the last two hours, 16 of our candidates have received calls that if they leave AAP and join their party, they will make them ministers and will give ₹15 crores to each of them," he said.

With most exit polls predicting that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will win Delhi assembly elections, BJP leaders expressed confidence of the party's triumph after counting of votes on February 8.

Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi could find itself floundering in the absence of a convincing mandate, leaving it the most vulnerable in the 12 years since its formation.

A majority of the exit polls following the polling on Wednesday predicted a win for the BJP, albeit by thin margins

Exit polls for the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections indicate a potential comeback for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after a long absence, potentially ending the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) governance.
