Delhi Lt Governor VK Saxena has ordered a probe into AAP's claim that BJP attempted to poach its candidates before the February 8 election results. AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal alleged that 16 party candidates were offered ₹15 crore and ministerial posts to defect. Delhi Minister Atishi accused BJP of manipulating exit polls to create pressure. BJP dismissed the allegations as defamatory, prompting the probe by the Anti-Corruption Bureau. The investigation comes as Delhi awaits its Assembly election results, determining whether AAP retains power or BJP breaks its long electoral drought in the capital.
