AAP resumes attack on EC, BJP over new electoral roll

New Delhi, January 19

Resuming its attack on the alleged voters’ deletion fraud, the Aam Aadmi Party today demanded the Election Commission explain net decrease in the electoral roll of 2019 even as there has been an increase in eligible population, going by the recently-released electoral roll of the national capital.

South Delhi Lok Sabha constituency in-charge Raghav Chadha alleged the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has forced the EC to carry out “mass deletion" of names of voters of specific communities fearing defeat in the coming LS election.

The AAP leader said, “There is a decrease of about 1.2 lakh voters since January 2018. This clearly vindicates the AAP's claim that the BJP has orchestrated and engineered the biggest ever voter deletion fraud against the people of Delhi.”

However, the BJP stated the electoral list of Delhi showing an increase of 9.8 lakh voters this time as compared to 2014 exposes the lies of the AAP.
