Arvind Kejriwal accuses Election Commission and Delhi Police of colluding with BJP to disrupt elections

Arvind Kejriwal accuses Election Commission and Delhi Police of colluding with BJP to disrupt elections

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Chief Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday leveled serious allegations against the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the Delhi Police, accusing them of supporting hooliganism against AAP and shielding the BJP’s alleged wrongdoings.

The remarks followed the filing of a case by Delhi Police against Delhi Chief Minister and AAP candidate Atishi for violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC).

Kejriwal expressed his displeasure on social media, accusing both the ECI and Delhi Police of conspiring to disrupt the electoral process in favor of the BJP, with a focus on engaging in hooliganism and safeguarding BJP's interests.

In his post on X, Kejriwal said, "In response to a complaint about the growing hooliganism, the Election Commission has filed a police case against the Chief Minister of Delhi. So now, the official stance of the Delhi Police and the Election Commission is - The 'work' of the Delhi Police and the Election Commission is to engage in hooliganism against the Aam Aadmi Party, provide protection to the BJP's hooliganism, and distribute liquor, money, and goods."

He further stated, "If anyone tries to stop them from doing this 'work,' a case will be filed against that person for obstructing the 'work' of the police and the Election Commission."

Atishi, in her response to the case, pointed out the lack of action against BJP candidate Ramesh Bidhuri, whose family members were reportedly involved in violations of the MCC.

She raised concerns about the ECI's actions, asking how far they would go in undermining the electoral process.

"The Election Commission is also amazing! Ramesh Bidhuri ji's family members are openly violating the code of conduct. No action is being taken against them. I filed a complaint and called the police and Election Commission, and they filed a case against me! Rajiv Kumar ji: How much will you ruin the electoral process?" the Delhi CM wrote on X.

The DCP South East Delhi, in a post on X, reported that Atishi was found violating the MCC on February 4 at 12:30 AM along with 50-70 people and 10 vehicles at Fateh Singh Marg.

The police instructed them to vacate the area, and a case was filed following a complaint by the Flying Squad Team (FST), under sections of the Representation of the People Act.

In another update, the DCP South East Delhi mentioned that AAP members Ashmit and Sagar Mehta had obstructed and assaulted a Head Constable who was documenting the gathering at Baba Fateh Singh Marg, Govindpuri.

The police officer, HC Kaushal Pal, was responding to the situation and began recording video when the altercation occurred. The DCP confirmed that an FIR has been registered under sections related to obstruction of public duty and assault while on duty, with further investigations ongoing.
