Delhi polls: AAP MP Sanjay Singh alleges BJP trying to get his wife's vote deleted
New Delhi: AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Sunday alleged that the BJP was trying to get his wife's name deleted from the voters list of the New Delhi Assembly constituency ahead of the polls in February.
Addressing a press conference, the senior AAP leader accompanied by his wife Anita Singh alleged that the BJP was trying to delete the names of Purvanchali people settled in Delhi.
Singh and his wife belong to eastern Uttar Pradesh. Purvanchalis are people from eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar settled in Delhi for decades, and form a significant chunk of voters in the city.
Singh claimed that two applications were filed on December 25 and 26 for deletion of his wife's name from the voters list of the New Delhi seat represented by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal.
He claimed that the BJP was trying to teach him a lesson for raising in the Rajya Sabha the issue of names of Purvanchali voters being deleted from the voters list in Delhi.
Earlier in the day, Kejriwal alleged that applications were filed for deletion of over 5,000 votes in New Delhi since mid December.
The BJP has alleged that the names of Rohingya and Bangladeshi people illegally staying in Delhi were added to the voters list at the AAP's behest.
The BJP has accused the AAP of helping the illegal immigrants with documents to use them as a vote bank in the elections.

RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat's temple-mosque statement supported by RSS mouth-piece Panchjanya
Nagpur: RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat's recent statement on searching temples under mosques has received support from Panchjanya, a magazine affiliated with the RSS.
Bhagwat had recently said that there is no need to search for temples in every mosque, adding that some individuals are trying to become 'Hindu leaders' by raising such issues, which is unacceptable. His statement was supported by some, while Hindu nationalist groups and certain saints rejected it.
In an editorial, Panchjanya described Bhagwat's remarks as a "pragmatic approach" and called for society to adopt a balanced stance on the temple-mosque controversy. The editorial emphasised that while temples are central to Hindu faith, using them for political gains is not acceptable.
It also expressed concern over the unnecessary debates and misleading propaganda surrounding the issue, which have been amplified through social media.
