In a fiery press conference, Aam Aadmi Party's National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of orchestrating a major election fraud in the New Delhi Assembly constituency.

Highlighting a concerning surge in fake vote cancellation applications, Kejriwal pointed out that between December 15 and January 7, 5,500 such applications were allegedly submitted without the knowledge of those named. He described it as a possible scam and criticized the BJP-led central government for escalating crime rates in Delhi, asserting it as a crime capital.

Addressing the Purvanchal issue, he accused the BJP of divisive tactics and blamed them for distracting from real issues, such as unemployment and public welfare. Kejriwal reaffirmed AAP's commitment to the Purvanchal communities and its track record in slum area development.
