Delhi L-G Orders Probe Into Kejriwal’s ‘MLA Poaching’ Claim, Ex-CM In Huddle With Lawyers


Delhi L-G VK Saxena has ordered a probe into the MLA poaching claims made by AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal.  Delhi L-G’s principal secretary wrote to the chief secretary to conduct an ACB Inquiry on allegations of bribes offered to AAP MLAs.

Kejriwal on Thursday had accused the BJP of attempting to poach his party candidates ahead of the Delhi Assembly election results on February 8. Arvind Kejriwal claimed that around 16 AAP candidates had received offers from the BJP with the promise of ministerial positions and Rs 15 crore each if they switch sides.

The inquiry was ordered after BJP’s complaint to Delhi LG saying that “allegations are false and baseless and made with an intent to tarnish the image of BJP and create panic and situation of unrest in Delhi immediately after the conclusion of Polling.”

Kejriwal on Thursday had accused the BJP of attempting to poach his party candidates ahead of the Delhi Assembly election results on February 8.

In a post on X, Kejriwal claimed: “Some agencies are showing that the abusive party (BJP) is getting more than 55 seats. In the last two hours, 16 of our candidates have received calls that if they leave the AAP and join their party, they will be made ministers and given Rs 15 crore each.”

“If they are indeed winning more than 55 seats, why are they calling up our candidates? These fake surveys are a conspiracy to create an atmosphere to break AAP candidates. But not a single one of them will switch sides,” he asserted.

AAP candidate from Sultanpur also echoed the claims made by Kejriwal, saying that he was approached with such an offer. He also shared the phone number from which he said he had received the call.
