NEW DELHI — The Aam Aadmi Party, that is ruling Delhi for about four years, has blamed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for alleged deletion of lakhs of names from the voters’ list.
Addressing a press conference here on Saturday, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia claimed that “10.5 lakh names have been deleted from voters’ list.”
“Around 15,000 names have been deleted from each Assembly constituency, thus it makes a total of 10.5 lakh votes. On what ground has the Election Commission deleted these names? After investigation, it was found that these voters have not shifted to any other place but are staying at the same place,” said Sisodia.
“लगभग 15 हजार वोट हर विधानसभा से डिलीट किए हैं तो 70 विधानसभाओं में कुल मिलाकर साढ़े दस लाख वोट डिलीट हो जाते हैं आखिर चुनाव आयोग ने ये वोट किस आधार पर डिलीट किए हैं? जांच करने पर पता चलता है कि ये वोटर्स कहीं शिफ्ट नहीं हुए, ये अपने उसी पते पर रह रहे हैं” :- @msisodia pic.twitter.com/GrIdLORItZ

“चुनाव आयोग को बताना चाहिए कि कितने वोट डिलीट किए जा रहे हैं, बीजेपी हार के डर से बौखला कर डिलीट करा रही है वोट।
लोकतंत्र में चुनाव में वोट डालने पर ही प्रहार हो रहा है, जो वोट काटे गए हैं उससे वापस जोड़ा जाए”- @msisodia pic.twitter.com/hPQnwUeHMv— AAP (@AamAadmiParty) November 3, 2018
Targeting the BJP for this, he said: “The Election Commission should tell about the number of voters whose names are being deleted. Fearing for defeat, the BJP is getting these names deleted. In democracy, right to vote is itself being attacked. The names deleted must be added to the list.”
AAP came to power in Delhi with unprecedented massive victory in February 2015 when it won 67 out of total 70 seats of the Assembly. While Congress got zero, BJP won three seats.
