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.

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

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.

AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal called a meeting of party legislators and all 70 candidates in the national capital at 11:30 am today amid poaching fears.

Rejecting the allegation, BJP Delhi chief Virendra Sachdeva said the AAP claims are a result of their 'frustration' as they stare at electoral defeat.

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.

BJP MP Yogendra Chandoliya said on Wednesday that the exit polls indicate the BJP has "defeated" Arvind Kejriwal and his "corrupt government." Polling to elect the 70-member assembly of Delhi concluded on Wednesday evening with a voter turnout of 60.
