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.

Voting for the recently held Delhi assembly elections took place across 70 assembly seats in a single phase on February 5.

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.

The big day is just around the corner, set to decide who will rule Delhi for the next five years. While Wednesday’s exit polls delivered a blow to AAP, the party remains hopeful of securing a hat-trick.

Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva rejected the allegations, calling them a sign of the AAP's “frustration” over an impending electoral defeat.
