Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Delhi has demanded Election Commission of India (ECI) to appoint special observers at mosques in order to check polarisation of voters on religious lines, reports.
BJP Delhi accused Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of making religiously charged speeches in Muslim minority dominated areas. "We are bound to write you this complaint due to recent repeated attempts to polarise voters on religious lines by the convener of the AAP, Arvind Kejriwal, and his party members," alleged Delhi BJP's legal department convener Neeraj in the letter written to ECI.
The complaint alleged that Kejriwal, targeting minorities, was asking people to beware of vote split between the AAP and the Congress. Such a split could benefit BJP. The AAP chief allegedly exhorted people to vote for his party to defeat the BJP in Lok Sabha polls. A video has also surfaced where Kejriwal and another AAP leader are seen asking Muslims to not ‘waste’ their votes on Congress and instead provide AAP with the 12 per cent Muslim vote in Delhi to defeat BJP.
