Delhi Chief Minister and AAP’s Kalkaji candidate Atishi and Patparganj candidate Awadh Ojha also arrived for the meeting at 5, Ferozeshah Road (Kejriwal residence).
Party MP Sanjay Singh said, “Let the meeting begin…The agenda is that we have to win tomorrow with a thumping majority.”
AAP candidate from Shahdara, Jitender Singh Shunty emphasized that they all are with Arvind Kejriwal and exuded confidence that the party will form the government in the national capital.
Earlier, Mr. Kejriwal alleged that BJP was trying to poach his party’s candidates.
“In the last two hours, 16 of our candidates have received calls saying they should leave AAP and join their party. They [the BJP] will make them [AAP’s Assembly poll candidates] Ministers and will give them ₹15 crore each,” Mr. Kejriwal claimed in the post on X issued at 8.47 p.m.
“If their party is getting more than 55 seats, then what is the need to call our candidates? Obviously, fake surveys have been conducted so that an atmosphere is created in their favour, and they can steal our candidates,” the former Delhi Chief Minister said in the post in Hindi, adding, “They will not be able to break away even one of our candidates.”
