New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor Arvind Kejriwal, without naming anyone, accused the BJP of bribing candidates. Kejriwal claimed that his MLAs and candidates were offered Rs 15 crore each over the phone. A meeting of all 70 candidates was called at 11.30 am today on this issue.
After Kejriwal’s allegations, BJP wrote a letter to LG VK Saxena demanding an investigation into the allegations. After this, LG has ordered the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) to investigate the matter. According to reports, the ACB team has reached the houses of Kejriwal, MP Sanjay Singh and Mukesh Ahlawat for investigation.
Former Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal made these allegations after the exit polls of 3 new agencies were released on February 6. It is worth noting that 60.54% voting took place on February 5 for 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly elections.
Mukesh Ahlawat shared the number on social media
Mukesh Ahlawat, a minister in the Delhi government and a candidate from Sultanpur Mazra, said, “I also received a call from a number. The caller said that their government is being formed. If I leave AAP and join their party, they will give me 15 crores and make me a minister. I will not leave the Aam Aadmi Party till my death.”
मैं मर जाऊंगा, कट जाऊंगा लेकिन कभी @ArvindKejriwal जी का साथ नहीं छोडूंगा।
मुझे इस नंबर से फ़ोन आया। उसने बोला कि उनकी सरकार बन रही है, मंत्री बना देंगे और 15 करोड़ भी देंगे। “आप” छोड़ के आ जाओ।
मैं इनको कहना चाहता हूँ कि जो इज़्ज़त केजरीवाल जी ने और “आप” पार्टी ने मुझे दी है,… pic.twitter.com/ZrqIC0R4WD

Kejriwal said- not even one of our men will break away
On the night of February 6, Kejriwal tweeted, “Some agencies are showing that the abusive party is getting more than 55 seats. In the last two hours, 16 of our candidates have received calls that they should leave AAP and join their party, they will make them ministers and will give Rs 15 crore to each of them.
If their party is getting more than 55 seats, then what is the need to call our candidates. Obviously, fake surveys have been conducted so that an atmosphere can be created to break some candidates. But you people who abuse, not even one of our people will break.”
कुछ एजेंसीज दिखा रही हैं कि गाली गलौज पार्टी की 55 से ज़्यादा सीट आ रही हैं।
पिछले दो घंटे में हमारे 16 उम्मीदवारों के पास फ़ोन आ गए हैं कि “आप” छोड़ के उनकी पार्टी में आ जाओ, मंत्री बना देंगे और हरेक को 15-15 करोड़ देंगे।
अगर इनकी पार्टी की 55 से ज़्यादा सीटें आ रहीं हैं तो…
