New Delhi: On December 13, a BJP delegation from Delhi, led by state president Virendra Sachdeva, met with the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) and two other Election Commissioners to formally protest the inclusion of illegal voters in Delhi’s voter lists. The delegation raised concerns about the presence of illegal voters, particularly Rohingya and Bangladeshi infiltrators, duplicate registrations, and entries with fictitious addresses.

The BJP representatives emphasized the urgency of addressing this issue to ensure a transparent and fair election for the Delhi Assembly. The team included Om Pathak, MoS Harsh Malhotra, MP Bansuri Swaraj, Praveen Shankar Kapoor, and Advocate Sanket Gupta, who presented a detailed report supported by 5,000 pages of evidence.

Sachdeva expressed alarm over the unusually high number of new voter registrations between the Lok Sabha and upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, which surpassed typical annual registration trends. The delegation highlighted evidence of thousands of infiltrators listed as voters, along with numerous duplicate entries and voters registered at non-existent addresses.

They called on the Election Commission of India (ECI) to take action against the enrolment of illegal voters and proposed campaigns via radio and print media to inform potential bogus voters about the legal repercussions of illegal registration or voting.

Bansuri Swaraj presented 18 pieces of evidence demonstrating how infiltrators have registered, including multiple entries for individuals with the same family details and addresses, as well as instances where voters were listed at non-existent addresses. Malhotra addressed the misleading narrative propagated by the Delhi Government, clarifying that the BJP’s objections are not against voters of Indian origin but specifically target infiltrators and fraudulent entries.

Pathak urged the ECI to ensure a fair electoral process in the capital. The meeting generated optimism for prompt action from the Election Commission, with Sachdeva stating that BJP workers across all 70 assembly constituencies have identified a significant number of registered voters of Bangladeshi or Rohingya origin, in addition to duplicates and voters listed at non-existent addresses, as well as deceased or relocated individuals.
