New Delhi, December 11: An Aam Aadmi Party delegation led by Arvind Kejriwal met the Election Commission on Wednesday to address allegations of mass voter deletions ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections. The party's national convenor, following the meeting, alleged that the BJP was orchestrating a conspiracy to remove voters, mostly from marginalised communities, including Dalits, Scheduled Castes (SCs), and Purvanchalis, from the electoral roll.

"We have submitted 3,000 pages of evidence showing how the BJP is conspiring to delete voters' names on a mass scale," Kejriwal claimed. He stated the EC provided several assurances, including that no large-scale deletions would occur without proper verification. ‘AAP To Fight Election on Its Own Strength’: Arvind Kejriwal Rules Out Alliance With Congress for Delhi Assembly Polls.

The former chief minister of Delhi also mentioned that in cases of voter deletions, a field inquiry will be conducted by the Booth Level Officer (BLO), accompanied by representatives from various political parties. Kejriwal noted that if any individual applies to delete more than five voters' names, the concerned sub-divisional magistrate will carry out a field inquiry. Delhi Assembly Elections 2025: AAP Leader Manish Sisodia Accuses BJP of Submitting Bulk Applications to Delete Names of 22,000 Voters From Electoral Rolls Fearing Defeat.

The EC also assured AAP of strict action against those filing questionable deletion requests, he said. The delegation included Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, Rajya Sabha MPs Sanjay Singh and Raghav Chadha and party leader Jasmine Shah. Calling the meeting successful, the AAP supremo expressed gratitude to the EC for their promptly action. The alleged voter deletions have become a contentious issue as the Delhi Assembly elections, slated for February next year, draw near. AAP, aiming for a third consecutive term, has accused the BJP of attempting to manipulate the voter rolls to influence the polls.
