AAP, BJP CLASHES OVER DELETION OF VOTERS

AAP is "conspiring" to delete the votes of not only the poor but also prominent citizens of Delhi, including a top naval officer and the son of former vice president Hamid Ansari

- 

AP MP Sanjay Singh and Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva on Wednesday engaged in a war of words over deletion of voters from the electoral roll ahead of the polls in the national capital. Singh accused the BJP of attempting to delete the names of voters from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar residing in Delhi. The saffron party is targeting "our Purvanchali brothers, calling them Bangladeshis and Rohingyas", said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP.

By Purvanchalis, Singh was referring to people from eastern UP and Bihar who have been settled in Delhi for decades and form a significant portion of the city's voters.

Sachdeva hit back, alleging that AAP is "conspiring" to delete the votes of not only the poor but also prominent citizens of Delhi, including a top naval officer and the son of former vice president Hamid Ansari.
