Chief Minister Atishi on Wednesday sought an appointment with the Chief Election Commissioner for the second time this week, on the issue of alleged large-scale fraud in electoral roll in New Delhi Assembly constituency.
“I had sought an appointment from your good office for a meeting to apprise you of the issue in person. However, in response to my letter, my office has received a correspondence (attached) from Lalit Mittal, Deputy Chief Electoral Officer, Delhi, stating that the office is ascertaining the facts mentioned in my letter,” the letter read.
On Monday, the Chief Minister had accused the BJP of committing “a large-scale fraud” in the electoral roll of New Delhi Assembly constituency while also remarking upon the Election Commission of India’s (EC) “highly suspicious approach” in the matter.
The Chief Minister, in her letter, said with less than 27 days left for the Delhi Assembly election, the matter “should be considered with highest priority”.
“Delhi is the only State going to polls during this time, and the entire country and its media will closely follow the election and its processes. We place our trust in the Election Commission of India to uphold the principles of free and fair elections. Once again, I would like to ask you to please give an appointment as soon as possible to ensure free and fair election,” she said.
