Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva later said there was more evidence with the party regarding the fake votes by Rohingyas and Bangladeshis illegally staying in Delhi and claimed that such votes numbered in lakhs. “Our booth-level agents uncovered a disturbing pattern regarding illegal immigrants who were, through devious machinations, included in the electoral rolls of NCT of Delhi over the past 10 years,” stated a representation submitted by the delegation.
A very “sizeable number of Rohingyas and Bangladeshis” masquerading as Bengali-speaking migrants from West Bengal are registered as voters, BJP claimed. Not being citizens of India, they are not even entitled to be registered as voters, it said.
The delegation, led by Sachdeva, included Union minister Harsh Malhotra, New Delhi MP Bansuri Swaraj, state general secretary Vishnu Mittal and functionary Om Pathak. “AAP is engaged in appeasement and sheltering of Rohingyas and Bangladeshis illegally in Delhi. I want to warn that BJP will not let any Rohingya or Bangladeshi cast a vote in the elections,” Sachdeva said.
Showing a page of “evidence”, Sachdeva said that in Janakpur, a man with the same name, father’s name and address was mentioned four times in the voters’ list. “We have more such evidence, besides the 5,000 pages submitted today. Such fake voter numbers run into lakhs,” he alleged.
Swaraj alleged AAP was snatching the voting right of the people of Delhi and giving it to the Rohingyas and Bangladeshis. BJP is ensuring that those who are not citizens of the country do not get to cast votes, said Malhotra.
AAP didn’t respond to the allegation. Earlier this week, it met the election commissioners and alleged that BJP was trying to get thousands of votes deleted ahead of the assembly elections due in Feb.
