Kejriwal Alleges Election Officer Surrendered To BJP; Facilitating Fraud

On Friday, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of being involved in large-scale vote fraud in the New Delhi Assembly constituency.

Speaking at a press conference, Kejriwal alleged that the local election officer was working in collusion with the BJP to facilitate fraudulent activities.

Kejriwal stated, “The local election officer of the New Delhi Assembly constituency has surrendered to the BJP. He is facilitating all the wrong works of the BJP. The ECI has assured us that they will not allow all these practices to happen and will take strict action. The local DEO and ERO should be suspended.”

The AAP National Convenor further highlighted the alarming number of fake applications for vote cancellations, stating, “In New Delhi Assembly constituency, from 15 December to 7 January, in 22 days, 5,500 applications have come for cancellation of votes. These applications are fake. A big scam is going on. In the last fifteen days, 13,000 applications have come.”

Kejriwal also criticized the BJP-led central government for turning Delhi into the ‘crime capital’ while addressing the issue of rising crime in the city.

“Delhi has been made the crime capital by the BJP-led central government and Amit Shah. Robbery, dacoity, and gang wars are happening openly. People are feeling unsafe. The BJP and the central government have no concern for the people of Delhi,” said the AAP National Convenor.

Kejriwal promised that if AAP forms the next government, Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) would receive funding to hire private security guards for their areas. “Our goal is not to replace the police,” he further added.

On the issue of the Purvanchal community, Kejriwal however condemned the BJP for attempting to divide communities, particularly Purvanchalis and Dalits.

“The BJP has become a protest party. I can put up a tent outside my house for them. There is no one more deceitful and hypocritical than them,” he further said.

The AAP National Convenor further noted, “Yesterday, I went to the Election Commission to file a complaint that the BJP is splitting the votes of Purvanchali and Dalit communities. JP Nadda himself called the people of Purvanchal Rohingyas in Parliament.”

Kejriwal emphasized AAP’s support for the Purvanchal communities, stating, “We give the most tickets to Purvanchal people. We have done the most work in slum areas. The BJP hasn’t done anything.”

Additionally, Kejriwal accused the BJP of prioritizing irrelevant issues instead of addressing the people’s real concerns.

“BJP cannot create any issue. All the issues they are raising are backfiring. From morning to evening, they are me. Talk about the country and Delhi, unemployment is at its worst. They are not concerned about children and employment, which is why no one is giving them votes,” he said.
