Delhi Assembly elections: BJP distributing money, gold chains to buy votes ahead of Delhi polls, says Kejriwal
The Hindu
Arvind Kejriwal accuses BJP of distributing money and gold chains to buy votes in upcoming Delhi elections.
AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday (January 14, 2025) alleged the BJP is distributing money and gold chains to lure voters ahead of the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections.
Addressing a press conference here, he also claimed the AAP's graph is soaring and it will once again get a full majority.
“The BJP lacks the vision and leadership to challenge the AAP,” Mr. Kejriwal said.
"The BJP has surrendered all its weapons as it has no narrative, no vision and no chief ministerial face. It doesn't have anything," the former chief minister said.
Accusing the BJP of adopting unfair means, Kejriwal claimed that the party is distributing jackets, shoes, sarees, money and even gold chains to buy votes. "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 said.
"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.
Delhi will go to polls on February 5 and results will be announced on February 8.
