Day after polling, Congress, AAP claim Bihar vote fraud

AAP alleged that the BJP had arranged special trains to transport its supporters from Delhi and Haryana to Bihar for voting, while the Congress claimed that BJP leaders who had voted in Delhi had also exercised their franchise in the first phase of the Bihar polls.

AAP Delhi unit president and former minister Saurabh Bharadwaj, in a series of posts and interviews, accused the BJP of orchestrating "vote theft" by moving voters across states. He shared photos and social media posts to substantiate his claims, including those allegedly showing BJP Rajya Sabha MP Rakesh Sinha voting in both Delhi and Bihar.

"Rakesh Sinha ji is an RSS ideologue and works for the BJP and RSS. He first voted in the Delhi Vidhan Sabha and then again in the Bihar Assembly. He is getting caught in his own statements. Now he claims to have shifted his vote from Delhi to Bihar. How can someone who still teaches Political Science at Delhi University's Motilal Nehru College say he has permanently shifted to Bihar?" Bharadwaj said.
