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

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.

Hours before the results, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) called a meeting of all its 70 candidates on Friday, according to reports. The meeting will be chaired by AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal.

The meeting will likely focus on preparations for the results and addressing concerns over alleged horse-trading of MLAs.

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.

The people of Delhi trusted the guarantees of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. They have taken the right decision, says BJP MP Ravi Kishan. Most exit polls released after the conclusion of voting at 6 PM on Wednesday predicted a likely win for the BJP, while the AAP to finish second and a complete rout for the Congress for the third consecutive term.
