AAP rejected exit polls

The BJP has demanded that AAP retract its charges and tender an apology or face legal action.
Delhi BJP general secretary Vishnu Mittal also wrote to the Lt Governor VK Saxena requesting for an ACB probe into AAP's charges. Soon after the LG's order, an ACB team visited Kejriwal in connection with the matter.
