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.

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.

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.

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.
