BJP lawmaker Manoj Tiwari, claimed on Sunday that 450 voters in the Subash Mohalla ward of the nation’s capital had their names removed from the voter list because they support the BJP. He then demanded that the elections in the ward be cancelled and held again.
He was speaking to reporters at the Subhash Mohalla ward’s Yamuna Vihar polling booth. The BJP MP went on to claim that the Delhi government is involved in a massive conspiracy.
“In the Subash Mohalla ward, the names of 450 voters have been deleted from the voters’ list because they support the BJP.” “This is a big conspiracy by the Delhi government. I will complain about this and appeal for the cancellation of these polls and re-election,” said Tiwari.
Anil Chaudhary, the president of the Delhi Congress, previously asserted that when he went to the voting booth to cast his ballot in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections, he discovered that his name was missing from the voters’ list.
According to Chaudhary, his name is neither on the voter list nor the list of people who were erased.
“My name is neither on the voter list nor in the deleted list. My wife has voted. Officials are checking it,” said the Delhi Congress president who arrived at a polling booth in Dallupura to cast his vote.
This is the first civic election after the fresh delimitation exercise. There were 272 wards in Delhi and three corporations- NDMC, SDMC, and EDMC) in Delhi from 2012-2022 that later reunified into an MCD that had formally come into existence on May 22.
