🌼Bhartiya Janata Party's New Delhi assembly seat candidate Parvesh Verma reacted to Aam Admi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal's allegation about discrepancies in the voter list, saying the AAP supremo was gripped by the fear of electoral defeat.
🌌Parvesh Verma said Arvind Kejriwal would soon start blaming the electronic voting machines for his defeat.
♉"Arvind Kejriwal is scared. The fear of losing has gripped him. That's why he is now using the voter list issue as an excuse. Soon, he will start blaming EVMs for his defeat," Verma stated.
Former BJP MP Parvesh Verma, who will face Arvind Kejriwal 🍨in the electoral battle in the New Delhi seat, said that Kejriwal's hold over the voters in the constituency had diminished, reported News Agency ANI.
꧑Parvesh Verma said, "It is clear that Arvind Kejriwal is aware of his declining popularity. His hold over the voters in this area has weakened, and to divert attention, he is making baseless accusations. The people of New Delhi are smart and will not be misled by such claims," as quoted by ANI.
ﷺArvind Kejriwal met two election commissioners and alleged issues in voting lists in the New Delhi seat on Thursday.
꧑Kejriwal said, "The chief election commissioner is out, but we met with the other two commissioners. One of the issues we raised was that in the New Delhi Legislative Assembly, between December 15 and January 7, a total of 5,500 votes were registered in 22 days. The total votes in this assembly are 1,00,000. This means that 5.5 percent of the votes were registered in the last 22 days, which indicates some irregularities. There are issues with these applications."

"When the lower officials investigated, the individuals whose names appeared on these applications denied having submitted any request to cut votes. 89 people had applied for 5,500 votes, and 18 of them came to the Election Commission 🌳and denied submitting any applications. This means there is a large-scale election fraud happening," he stated.
▨Former Delhi CM and AAP chief Kejriwal also accused Parvesh Verma of distributing money in the constituency. He asked the poll panel to bar him from contesting the Delhi election and raid his house.
ಞKejriwal said, "The Election Commission assured them that strict action will be taken against any corrupt practices."
