NEW DELHI:

AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal and party leader Sanjay Singh said that the BJP was attempting to "poach" AAP candidates. "In the last two hours, 16 of our candidates have received calls offering ₹15 crore each and ministerial positions if they switch to BJP. If they are getting more than 55 seats, why are they trying to break our candidates?" Kejriwal wrote on X.
