Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva expressed serious concerns on Tuesday regarding alleged irregularities in the voter list ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections set for February 5 in the capital.
Sachdeva, accompanied by BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj and senior leader Om Pathak, approached Election Commission officials to discuss their grievances. He highlighted that over five lakh new voter applications have been submitted recently, many of which appear suspicious.
Sachdeva criticized Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal for allegedly seeking the deletion of 40 Dalit voters from the Valmiki temple area, accusing him of anti-Dalit actions. This accusation follows the AAP's claims about the BJP's wrongful practices aimed at influencing election results.
The political scene in Delhi is charged with tensions as both parties exchange accusations. With voting scheduled for February 5 and results expected on February 8, the stakes are significantly high for AAP and BJP.
