Atishi accuses BJP-led Centre of manipulating electoral rolls

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi has accused the Central government of orchestrating a large-scale conspiracy to manipulate voter lists in the Capital ahead of upcoming elections.

NEW DELHI:

Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Atishi claimed that the Central Government, through the misuse of official machinery, is targeting Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) voters by deleting their names from the voter rolls.

Atishi alleged, "The Central government is planning a major conspiracy against the people of Delhi. To unfairly win the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, the government is undermining democracy." She further claimed that the transfer of 29 senior officials, including SDMs and ADMs, on October 28 was a part of this scheme.

"The first step was the transfer of 29 SDMs and ADMs on October 28. Afterward, officials were ordered to delete votes on a large scale," she stated.
