AAP, BJP allege voting irregularities in parts of Delhi

The Aam Aadmi Party and Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday alleged voting irregularities in parts of Delhi, including Seelampur and Chirag Dilli, PTI reported.

In Seelampur, BJP candidate Anil Gaur claimed that 300-400 voters had been brought in from Loni in Uttar Pradesh by the Aam Aadmi Party and Congress to cast proxy votes by donning masks and burqas, ANI reported. However, the police denied any instances of fake voting.

Security was increased in the area after BJP supporters began protesting outside a polling station.

A resident, Safdar Ali, dismissed Gaur’s allegations.

“We asked him [Anil Gaur] how was it possible when there are several layers of checking,” Ali told PTI. “The officials are checking the voter ID cards of everyone and allowing only valid voters inside the booth.”
