Punjab's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leadership has sharply criticized an Election Commission raid at the Kapurthala House, the official residence of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann in Delhi, alleging it as a demonstration of 'dirty politics.' Party members argue that the Election Commission is unfairly targeting them while allegedly ignoring misconduct by BJP leaders.
According to a Delhi election official, the raid was prompted by a complaint regarding alleged money distribution from the location. Chief Minister Mann and his party colleagues have countered, accusing the poll body of attempting to besmirch their reputation at the BJP's behest while unfairly singling out the Punjabi community.
Harpal Singh Cheema, Punjab's Finance Minister, and AAP's Punjabi leadership have expressed outrage at what they perceive as politically motivated actions, intended to influence the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections on February 5, with results expected on February 8.
