Delhi Assembly Election | Controversy Erupts over Voter Rolls, Illegal Immigrants, and Rohingya Refugees
As Delhi gears up for its Assembly election, a political slugfest has erupted between the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the BJP over alleged irregularities in the electoral roll. While the BJP has accused AAP of increasing its support base with “illegal voters,” particularly undocumented Bangladeshi and Rohingya migrants, AAP has countered this by accusing the BJP of mass deletion of legitimate voters, the majority of them being migrant workers who have settled in slum clusters and unorganised colonies in Delhi.
