BJP attempting to poach candidates in order to form govt in Delhi: AAP

The Hindu  

A day after polling for the Delhi Assembly election, Aam Aadmi Party national spokesperson and MP Sanjay Singh on Thursday alleged that seven AAP candidates have received offers of ₹15 crore each from the Bharatiya Janata Party to leave the AAP and join the BJP to form the government. Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva alleged that ever since the announcement of the Assembly elections, it has been evident that AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal and all party leaders are panicked by their seemingly inevitable defeat. “The frustration of AAP leaders after being rejected by the public in yesterday’s polling is now clearly visible, and in their desperation, they have resorted to making baseless accusations. Sanjay Singh’s claim that the BJP is offering inducements to AAP’s MLA candidates is a reflection of his frustration,” he said.
