New Delhi: There are around eight lakh fake voters in poll-bound Delhi which endangers free and fair elections in the capital, the AAP said on Tuesday and accused the BJP of being behind the “scam”.
Addressing a press conference here, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal said his party conducted an independent verification exercise of Delhi’s voters list and found 3,96,914 voters had 11,50,509 voter ID cards.
Though Kejriwal said these discrepancies could not have arisen without the involvement of lower level election officials, another AAP leader Ashutosh accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of being behind the scam.
Kejriwal also claimed there were 14,71,025 Delhi voters whose names figured in the electoral list of neighbouring Haryana.
Uttar Pradesh too had Delhi’s 14,71,025 voters as its electorate, the AAP said.
It said details of these voters – names, father’s/husband’s name and age were similar.
Kejriwal said he met Chief Election Commissioner V.S. Sampath on Tuesday to complain about the anomaly, and was assured that the matter would be looked into. (IANS)
