The Aam Aadmi Party had won 62 out of the 70 seats in the 2020 assembly elections and BJP secured eight seats.

Earlier, AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal alleged that a “large-scale” fraud in voter additions and deletions in the New Delhi Assembly seat is taking place.

In a post on X, Kejriwal cited a letter from Chief Minister Atishi sent to Delhi Chief Electoral Officer. “Large-scale fraud taking place in voter additions and deletions in the New Delhi assembly. Delhi CM Atishi ji writes this letter to CEC presenting evidence and seeking time to meet,” he said.

Delhi minister and AAP leader Gopal Rai said, “Our preparations for the elections have been completed. Our candidates are working on the ground.

They have already conceded defeat.”

BJP MP Manoj Tiwari said, “AAP threatens every constitutional institution. Their nature of ‘urban naxals’ always remains there… But officials are not worried about their (AAP) threats anymore… Their top leader is a criminal and his threats will not work…”
