In the lead-up to the Delhi Assembly elections, BJP candidate Satish Upadhyay from Malviya Nagar has expressed confidence in the Election Commission's ability to ensure a fair electoral process. Upadhyay commended the commission's work, emphasizing that after election details are announced, candidates will engage voters to secure a BJP victory.
The political tension has been exacerbated by allegations from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) concerning supposed electoral fraud. AAP leader and Chief Minister Atishi has accused the Election Commission of Delhi of irregularities, citing a surge in voter applications between October 2024 and January 2025.
As this electoral face-off intensifies, BJP's Delhi President Virendra Sachdeva has countered with accusations against AAP leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal and Raghav Chadha, claiming they are attempting to undermine democratic processes. Both parties remain in a heated standoff as the election date approaches.
