'Our candidates getting calls to leave party': Kejriwal alleges Exit polls are part of plot

  • 'Our candidates getting calls to leave party': Kejriwal alleges Exit polls are part of plot

New Delhi, Feb 6 (IANS) A day after multiple Exit polls predicted a resounding victory for the BJP in the Delhi Assembly elections, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal has labelled these surveys as fake, claiming they are part of a strategy to disrupt his party's momentum.

In a post on X, Kejriwal expressed his disapproval of the results and shed light on why he believes these surveys are being manipulated.

The remarks came after several exit polls predicted a sweeping victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Among these, Axis My India released its forecast, claiming the BJP would secure 45-55 seats in the 70-member Delhi Assembly, while the AAP would only manage 15-25 seats, marking a significant dip from its previous strongholds.

The Congress, according to the same survey, is expected to perform poorly, winning just 0-1 seat.

The Axis My India forecast, seen as a major blow to the AAP, has sent shockwaves through it.

Kejriwal’s comments came amid allegations that BJP leaders are attempting to poach AAP candidates.

AAP MP Sanjay Singh also weighed in, rejecting the exit poll predictions and accusing the BJP of executing an "Operation Lotus" in Delhi. Singh alleged that the BJP was offering bribes to AAP leaders in an attempt to destabilise the party and ensure their path to forming the government in the national capital.
