Kejriwal Claims ECI, Delhi Police Shield BJP; Engage In Hooliganism Against AAP

On Tuesday, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Chief Arvind Kejriwal accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the Delhi Police of favoring the BJP, alleging that their actions encourage misconduct against AAP while shielding the ruling party.

His remarks followed a police case filed against Delhi Chief Minister Atishi over an alleged violation of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC).

Kejriwal accused the ECI and Delhi Police of colluding to disrupt the electoral process and favor the BJP, alleging that their focus is on shielding the BJP, indulging in hooliganism, and distributing liquor and money.

Taking to X, Kejriwal posted, “In response to a complaint about the growing hooliganism, the Election Commission has filed a police case against the Chief Minister of Delhi. So now, the official stance of the Delhi Police and the Election Commission is – The ‘work’ of the Delhi Police and the Election Commission is to engage in hooliganism against the Aam Aadmi Party, provide protection to the BJP’s hooliganism, and distribute liquor, money, and goods.”

“If anyone tries to stop them from doing this ‘work,’ a case will filed against that person for obstructing the ‘work’ of the police and the Election Commission,” the post further added.
