AP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Friday accused BJP chief J P Nadda of equating Purvanchalis with Rohingyas and Bangladeshis, and also deleting their names from voters' lists ahead of the Delhi Assembly polls.
Addressing a press conference, the AAP leader said, "We will not allow BJP to delete the name of any person from Purvanchal from the electoral roll."
Taking a dig at the saffron party, he claimed that AAP has worked to honour and settle the Purvanchal society; on the other hand, BJP has made plans to displace them from the national capital.
