Political Crossfire: Election Allegations Fueled by Defamation Drama

BJP MP Manoj Tiwari has accused AAP of winning elections through votes from Bangladeshi infiltrators, sparking a dispute with AAP's Sanjay Singh. Singh, whose wife faces dual voter allegations, rebuffed these claims, emphasizing BJP's tendency to spread falsehoods. Both parties anticipate thorough investigations following defamation notices.

In a heated political exchange, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari on Thursday issued a pointed accusation against AAP's Sanjay Singh, alleging the party's electoral success relied on votes from Bangladeshi infiltrators. Tiwari promised that the AAP would receive a 'befitting reply' and face repercussions post-investigation. He also welcomed defamation notices from Singh, viewing them as opportunities for exhaustive scrutiny.

The controversy intensified amid allegations that Singh's wife, Anita Singh, is registered as a voter in both Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh, and New Delhi. Tiwari condemned such practices in democracy, asserting, 'They were winning elections only by taking votes from Bangladeshi infiltrators.'

In response, AAP MP Sanjay Singh dismissed BJP's accusations as baseless. Addressing the media, Singh stated that the BJP spreads falsehoods and that his wife had already applied to remove her name from Sultanpur's voter rolls. He further clarified that any listing errors were the responsibility of local electoral officials, asserting his intent to challenge BJP's defamation legally.
