In a heated exchange of accusations, AAP MP Sanjay Singh and Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva have clashed over allegations of voter roll deletions involving residents from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar living in Delhi. The confrontation underscores the politically charged atmosphere as the national capital gears up for upcoming elections.

Singh accused the BJP of singling out Purvanchalis—people from eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar—wrongfully labeling them as 'Bangladeshis and Rohingyas' to justify deleting their votes. He pledged to combat what he termed as an 'injustice' both in the streets and in Parliament, spotlighting the party's commitment to protecting minority voting rights.

Countering Singh's claims, Sachdeva alleged that AAP aimed to undermine electoral credibility by erasing votes of prominent citizens, including military and political figures. This dispute, marked by intense rhetoric and mutual accusations, highlights the deep political divide affecting voter confidence and electoral legitimacy in Delhi.
