Bharadwaj alleges BJP leaders voted in both Delhi, Bihar polls

The AAP on Thursday levelled serious allegations of voter fraud against several BJP leaders, claiming that they had cast votes in both the Delhi and Bihar Assembly elections this year.

Citing this as evidence of a “massive electoral scam,” AAP Delhi unit chief Saurabh Bharadwaj said that the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar had “completely failed” to prevent duplication of voters.

Addressing a press conference, Bharadwaj named BJP Rajya Sabha MP Rakesh Sinha, Delhi BJP Purvanchal Morcha president Santosh Ojha, and party leader Nagendra Kumar among those who allegedly voted twice — first in Delhi on February 5, 2025, and again in Bihar on November 6, 2025.

He shared what he described as photographic and digital evidence to support the claims, including screenshots of social media posts by the accused leaders.

“The Election Commission had promised that the SIR would ensure no person registered in another state could vote in Bihar. Then how did BJP leaders manage to cast votes in both Delhi and Bihar?” Bharadwaj questioned. “If this is happening so openly, how many more people are voting from multiple states to help the BJP win?”

Bharadwaj shared posts from Santosh Ojha’s verified Instagram account as evidence. “On February 5, he posted ‘My vote for the honour of Purvanchal’ after voting in Delhi. And today, on November 6, he posted, ‘Voted today with resolve for Prosperous Buxar, Empowered Bihar, and Developed India.’ This clearly proves he voted in both states,” he said.

The AAP leader further alleged that BJP MP and RSS ideologue Rakesh Sinha, who teaches at Delhi University’s Motilal Nehru College, also voted twice. “He voted in Delhi earlier this year and again in Bihar today. How can someone who lives and works in Delhi claim a Bihar address?” Bharadwaj asked. “This is nothing short of stealing elections through voter fraud,” he added.
