The Hindu
AAP leader accuses BJP of deleting Purvanchali voters' names in Delhi, sparking controversy ahead of upcoming elections.
AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Sunday (December 29, 2024) alleged that the BJP was trying to get his wife's name deleted from the voters list of the New Delhi Assembly constituency ahead of the polls in February.
Addressing a press conference, the senior AAP leader accompanied by his wife Anita Singh alleged that the BJP was trying to delete the names of Purvanchali people settled in Delhi.
Singh and his wife belong to eastern Uttar Pradesh. Purvanchalis are people from eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar settled in Delhi for decades, and form a significant chunk of voters in the city.
Singh claimed that two applications were filed on December 25 and 26 for deletion of his wife's name from the voters list of the New Delhi seat represented by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal.
He claimed that the BJP was trying to teach him a lesson for raising in the Rajya Sabha the issue of names of Purvanchali voters being deleted from the voters list in Delhi.
Earlier in the day, Kejriwal alleged that applications were filed for deletion of over 5,000 votes in New Delhi since mid December.
The BJP has alleged that the names of Rohingya and Bangladeshi people illegally staying in Delhi were added to the voters list at the AAP's behest.

The author goes on to share the picture of a gorgeous primavera tree, Roseodendron donnell-smithii, topped with bold yellow blooms, which was planted to mark the spot where the Nobel laureate was cremated and says, “There could be no better respect given to his memory than to plant such a beautiful tree.”
