Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party delegation on Wednesday met the Election Commission to present evidence on the alleged deletion of voters’ names in the electoral rolls ahead of the Delhi assembly elections.

Speaking to the media, AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal said that  today they met the Election Commission and submitted before them 3000-page evidence on how BJP is conspiring to cut votes of people of the national capital. He added that votes of the poor, SC and Dalits are being cut. 

The former Delhi Chief Minister stated that they told EC how a BJP member did the work of cutting the votes of 11,000 people in the Shahdara area. He mentioned that they have requested the EC to stop this mass deletion of names before elections and FIRs be registered against those who have applied mass deletion of names. The Election Commission has said that no mass deletions will be done before elections, he continued.

Arvind Kejriwal also mentioned that in cases of voter deletions, a field inquiry will be carried out by the Booth Level Officer (BLO), accompanied by representatives from various political parties.

Earlier on Wednesday, senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia at a press conference alleged that the BJP had submitted a large number of applications for the deletion of voters names from the electoral rolls.

The Senior AAP leader said that when it has become impossible for the BJP to defeat AAP in Delhi, and when it has become impossible to stop Arvind Kejriwal, they are trying to defeat AAP by cutting votes. 

The former Deputy Chief Minister further claimed that a large number of applications have been made to delete voters’ names from the electoral rolls, including those of people who have been living in the same area for years.

The AAP,  which is aiming for a third consecutive term, has accused the BJP of attempting to manipulate the voter rolls to influence the elections.

Amid Parliament Standoff, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi met Speaker Om Birla and urged him to expunge derogatory remarks made in the House against his family and the Congress. 

After the meeting, Rahul Gandhi told the reporters that the speaker said that he would look into the matter regarding derogatory comments. He added that the Opposition’s aim is that the House must run and discussion should happen in the House. The Congress leader remarked that no matter what the BJP says about him, they want to have a debate on December 13. He continued that the BJP will keep levelling allegations on them but the House must function.

BJP Lok Sabha MPs Nishikant Dubey and Sambit Patra on December 5 had riled up the Opposition Congress by alleging links between Rahul Gandhi and Hungarian.

A day after, while speaking in the House, Nishikant Dubey brought up Soros and the global investigative news network OCCRP (Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project).

The BJP leader remarked that the Congress has relations with OCCRP, which gets all its funds from the US government and George Soros. He further questioned if Rahul Gandhi took money from George Soros for the Bharat Jodo Yatra?”

The BJP MP’s statement had caused a high-voltage drama as Congress MPs stormed the Well of the House in protest. Later, the House was adjourned. Following, the Congress members demanded to know the status of their notices regarding breach of privileges against Dubey and Patra.

While responding to queries about BJP’s Patra calling Rahul Gandhi a traitor, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that those who can call Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi traitors, have no qualms about calling Rahul Gandhi one. 

Notably, the Winter Session of Parliament has been a washout so far after repeated disruptions on multiple issues. When the session commenced, Congress MPs demanded a discussion on the US Department of Justice indictment against the directors of Adani Green, which led to differences within the Opposition ranks because Congress allies like Trinamool Congress wanted the House to function and discuss issues such as price rise, Manipur unrest and unemployment.
