Delhi News Live Updates: With the Delhi polls weeks away, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal accuses BJP leaders of attempting to buy votes by distributing items like gold chains, money, jackets, and other freebies. He claimed that as AAP’s support grows, BJP lacks a clear narrative and CM candidate, resorting to vote-buying tactics.
