The politics of Arvind Kejriwal, convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and former Chief Minister of Delhi, is once again under the spotlight for allegations of misleading the public. At a recent event in Kidwai Nagar, Kejriwal claimed that a woman named Chandra, allegedly a voter in Delhi, had her name removed from the voter list. He used this assertion to criticise his political opponents and garner public sympathy.
However, Chandra herself has debunked Kejriwal’s statement, exposing what she described as a possible “misunderstanding” or deliberate political strategy. In a direct response to the media, she stated, “My name was never removed from the voter list. I have always voted regularly. I don’t know why Kejriwal said this. Maybe there was some misunderstanding.”
Chandra’s husband, M. Raghhu, also weighed in on the controversy. “Both our names have always been on the voter list and still are. It’s possible that Kejriwal mentioned Chandra’s name by mistake,” he said, emphasising that their voter registration status had never been in question. The clarification from Chandra and her husband has not only invalidated Kejriwal’s claim but also raised questions about the accuracy of his public statements.
The incident has provided ammunition for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to attack Kejriwal and the AAP. BJP’s state president Virendra Sachdeva took to X (formerly Twitter) to criticize Kejriwal’s claim, calling it an attempt to deflect from more significant issues. Sachdeva wrote, “The woman gave a strong response to the conman spreading confusion about the voter list.
Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party is actively promoting the illegal immigration of Rohingya and Bangladeshi citizens in Delhi through an organized network. To divert attention from this anti-national campaign, they falsely accused BJP of canceling the voter cards of people from Purvanchal. Both their tactics and lies have been completely exposed. Now, Arvind Kejriwal is in big trouble, caught in his own web!”.
