AAP holding a press conference to address Arvind Kejriwal's allegations that the media has been "sold out". Kejriwal has threatened to send journalists to jail after an inquiry into the issue if AAP comes to power.

"The whole media is sold out this time, it is a big conspiracy, it is a huge political controversy. If our government comes to power then we will set up an inquiry into this. And along with the media people, all will be sent to jail," he said, hitting out at the media for focusing on his security deployment.

Former journalist and now AAP candidate Ashutosh says a probe must be ordered into opinion polls. He said Kejriwal meant that a section of the media had sold out. He said as a former journalist the pressure on editors to toe the promoter's line is immense.

AAP says three channels were paid media and would ask the EC to probe the channels.
