AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of resorting to unethical practices to lure voters ahead of the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Kejriwal claimed that the BJP is distributing money, gold chains, and other items to influence voters.
“The BJP has surrendered all its weapons as it has no narrative, no vision, and no chief ministerial face. It doesn’t have anything,” Kejriwal stated, criticizing the opposition party for lacking leadership and direction.
Allegations of Vote-Buying
Kejriwal alleged that the BJP is adopting unfair means to secure votes, including distributing jackets, shoes, sarees, money, and even gold chains in specific areas.

“I have heard that gold chains are being distributed in two colonies. The BJP is saying it will buy votes. I appeal to the people of Delhi to not vote for anyone, including AAP candidates, if they are offering money or goods during the polls,” he urged.
Expressing confidence in his party’s prospects, Kejriwal asserted that the AAP’s graph is rising and that it will form a stable government with a full majority. “As the elections are approaching, it is becoming clear that the AAP is going to form a stable government with a full majority. With time, the AAP’s graph is soaring,” he added.
Previous Election Results
Delhi is set to go to the polls on February 5, with results to be announced on February 8. In the last two Assembly elections, the AAP secured landslide victories, winning 67 seats in 2015 and 62 seats in 2020. The BJP won three seats in 2015 and eight in 2020, while the Congress failed to win any seats in both elections.
