Title: AAP Alleges Cash Distribution, BJP Claims Fraud Voting in Delhi
As the Delhi Assembly elections are underway on 70 seats, reports of disturbances have been emerging from various parts of the city. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have levelled serious allegations against each other, claiming that the other party is resorting to unfair means to influence the outcome of the polls.
According to reports, the AAP alleged that the BJP was distributing cash at a building in Jangpura, a constituency in South Delhi. The AAP’s candidate from the constituency, Saurabh Bharadwaj, tweeted that he had received information about the alleged cash distribution and called upon the Election Commission to take immediate action.
On the other hand, the BJP alleged that fake voting was taking place in Seelampur, a constituency in East Delhi. The party claimed that some women were engaged in fake voting while wearing burqas, which is a common practice among Muslim women. The BJP’s candidate from the constituency, Manoj Tiwari, tweeted that he had received information about the alleged fake voting and demanded that the Election Commission take action to stop it.
AAP Allegations: Cash Distribution in Jangpura
The AAP’s allegations of cash distribution in Jangpura were made public on social media, where party leaders and volunteers shared pictures and videos of people allegedly receiving cash from BJP workers. The party claimed that the cash distribution was taking place at a building in the constituency, and that the BJP was using it to bribe voters to support their candidates.
The AAP’s allegations were backed by several eyewitnesses, who claimed that they had seen people receiving cash from BJP workers. One eyewitness, who wished to remain anonymous, told a local news channel that he had seen a group of people gathered outside the building, receiving cash from BJP workers. He claimed that the cash was being distributed in exchange for votes.
BJP Denials: Fake Voting in Seelampur
The BJP, however, denied the AAP’s allegations of cash distribution in Jangpura. The party claimed that the allegations were baseless and intended to create confusion among voters.
On the other hand, the BJP’s allegations of fake voting in Seelampur were supported by several video clips and photographs that emerged on social media. One video clip showed a group of women, allegedly wearing burqas, casting votes multiple times at a polling station in Seelampur.
The BJP claimed that the fake voting was being carried out by women who were not eligible to vote, as they were not registered in the electoral rolls. The party demanded that the Election Commission take immediate action to stop the fake voting and ensure that the polls were held in a free and fair manner.
AAP’s Saurabh Bharadwaj Alleges Police Trying to Stop People from Casting Votes
Meanwhile, the AAP’s Saurabh Bharadwaj alleged that the police were trying to stop people from casting their votes in Jangpura. He claimed that the police were preventing AAP workers and supporters from entering the polling stations, and that the party’s agents were being harassed and intimidated.
Bharadwaj tweeted that he had received reports of police harassment and intimidation, and called upon the Election Commission to take immediate action to ensure that the polls were held in a free and fair manner.
Election Commission’s Response
The Election Commission has taken cognizance of the allegations and has ordered an investigation into the matter. The Commission has also deployed additional security personnel at the polling stations in Jangpura and Seelampur to ensure that the polls are held in a peaceful and orderly manner.
The Commission has also warned the parties against making baseless allegations, and has called upon them to maintain the dignity of the electoral process.
Conclusion
The Delhi Assembly elections are being held in a tense and charged atmosphere, with both the AAP and the BJP making serious allegations against each other. The allegations of cash distribution and fake voting are serious and have the potential to undermine the integrity of the electoral process.
It is essential that the Election Commission takes immediate action to investigate the allegations and ensure that the polls are held in a free and fair manner. The Commission must also take steps to prevent the spread of misinformation and to maintain the dignity of the electoral process.
In the meantime, the people of Delhi are eagerly waiting to cast their votes and decide the fate of their representatives. It is essential that the parties and the Election Commission work together to ensure that the polls are held in a peaceful and orderly manner, and that the outcome is a true reflection of the people’s will.
