ECI writes to Delhi CEO after AAP lodges complaint
The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Thursday wrote to the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Delhi over the issues raised by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and asked to inquire into the matter.
Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva and North East Delhi MP Manoj
Tiwari, on Thursday, accused Arvind Kejriwal of harboring hatred
towards people from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar residing in Delhi, calling
them ‘fake voters’ once again.
He was reacting to AAP’s chief statement at the ECI allegedly
referring to the 13,000 fresh voter registration applications in the
New Delhi assembly as of those who are being brought from neighbouring
states of UP and Bihar to register them as voters here ahead of the
polls.

Claiming that Kejriwal has long disliked people from UP and Bihar, the
Delhi BJP chief said on Thursday, he again called them “fake voters”.
Kejriwal, who has insulted the people of Purvanchal terming them a
burden on healthcare and education, he said, now has gone too far by
calling them fake voters.

“The hardworking people of UP and Bihar run Delhi’s economy. Their
efforts are respected by all communities. We, the people of Delhi,
will avenge Kejriwal’s insult to these hardworking individuals,” he
added.
MP Manoj Tiwari also alleged that Kejriwal and his party have a
history of disrespecting people from Purvanchal which has been
witnessed by the people of the city once again.
He said the AAP chief’s promises, hoardings, behaviour, and intentions
are all fake. He is facilitating illegal Bangladeshi and Rohingya
immigrants to be voters. Their removal is troubling Kejriwal.
Meanwhile, BJP national media co-convener Sanjay Mayukh and Delhi
media chief Praveen Shankar Kapoor were also present during the press
conference.
