“Continuously settling illegal voters”: BJP’s Virendraa Sachdeva accuses Kejriwal of settling illegal voters

New Delhi: BJP State President Virendraa Sachdeva has levelled allegations against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the AAP government, accusing them of settling illegal voters in Delhi ahead of upcoming elections.

Sachdeva claims that this has been a recurring issue, with Kejriwal government facilitating the illegal voter settlement before every assembly election.

“Arvind Kejriwal and his party’s government are continuously settling illegal voters in Delhi. Today we showed 6 examples… Arvind Kejriwal does the work of settling illegal voters in Delhi before every assembly election,” Sachdeva said during a press briefing.

He further pointed to the increase in voter numbers during previous elections, alleging a pattern of fraudulent voter additions. “In 2015, 14 lakh votes were increased, in 2019, 9 lakh votes were increased, and the same conspiracy is being hatched in Delhi now,” he added.

According to Sachdeva, this practice has been a tactic employed by the Delhi government to sway election results in their favor.

The BJP leader emphasized that his party would not allow this alleged scheme to succeed. “The Bharatiya Janata Party will not let this conspiracy succeed. We have complained to the Election Commission, and we will do it today also,” he said

Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar on Tuesday slammed Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri over the issue of Rohingya immigrants in India, holding them accountable for the settlement of Rohingyas in the country.

Kakkar stated that if Rohingyas are present anywhere in India, it is Shah’s responsibility, while Puri is to blame for the settlement of Rohingyas in Delhi. She also stressed that the resources of Delhi’s people should be reserved for them, ensuring that Rohingyas cannot access them.

The AAP spokesperson said, “If there are Rohingyas anywhere in the country… Amit Shah is directly accountable as he is the Home Minister.” She added that if Rohingyas are present in Delhi, the responsibility lies with Hardeep Singh Puri, who had publicly tweeted about Rohingyas being settled in Bakkarwala.

“If there are Rohingyas in Delhi, Hardeep Singh Puri is responsible, who publicly tweeted tagging PMO on 17/08/2022 that Rohingyas are being settled in Bakkarwala,” Kakkar added.
