New Delhi, Jan 3 (UNI) Senior AAP Leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Friday conducted a door-to-door campaign in the New Delhi Assembly constituency alleging that the BJP is orchestrating a campaign to delete votes and urging residents to cross-check their names in the voter lists.
After this, Singh, along with Raghav Chadha, visited Jamnagar House and met the District Magistrate of New Delhi to file a complaint about the wrongful removal of names from the voter list.
Singh highlighted concerns over the deletion of votes belonging to long-time residents, many of whom have lived in the area for decades. Criticizing the BJP, he said, “Their actions appear to undermine residents’ presence and voting rights.”
“Having already lost the election, the BJP is now attempting to win through electoral fraud, a move AAP has vowed to resist,” the RS MP asserted. He added, “People who have been living here for years, building makeshift shelters, enduring poverty and hardships, are being targeted by the BJP to delete their names from the voter list.”.
“The BJP wants to ensure that the benefits provided by the Delhi government through Arvind Kejriwal cannot reach these people. They are selectively targeting and deleting votes of AAP supporters who have consistently backed Arvind Kejriwal in every assembly election. I have shown the people whose votes have been deleted in front of the media. What more evidence does the Election Commission, the administration, or the BJP need?,” Singh further claimed.
“The names of people who have been living here for 40-50 years are being deliberately deleted from the voter list. The BJP wants to commit electoral fraud. We have repeatedly complained to the Election Commission, presenting evidence and facts before the media. Many of these individuals have voter ID cards and have been residing here for decades,” he emphasised.
“We will not let this succeed. Many voters are coming forward on camera to share how they were born here or how some women have lived here for 40 years since their marriages, yet their votes are being targeted for deletion,” the Senior AAP leader said.
Responding to a question, Sanjay Singh said, “The names of two women have been used to apply for the deletion of my wife’s vote. What interest could these women possibly have? The interest lies with the BJP. They have a political agenda behind this.”
On a question regarding the Prime Minister inaugurating several schemes in Delhi, the RS MP remarked, “In this country, 37.45 lakh children have dropped out of government schools. Will PM Modi turn a blind eye to this reality? In Uttar Pradesh alone, 7.8 lakh children are out of school. This government is trapping the country in lies and conflicts while creating a massive population of unemployed and uneducated people. What will be achieved from this?”
