The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has alleged that the Centre is planning to attempt ‘cheating” in Delhi Mayoral polls as it attempted in the Chandigarh mayor polls.
The charge came after Delhi Urban Development Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj wrote to Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena, alleging the chief secretary had bypassed him and sent a file related to the appointment of a presiding officer for Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) mayoral polls to the L-G office directly.
Bharadwaj, in his letter to Saxena, requested the L-G to return the file to the chief secretary with an instruction that it should be rerouted through the Urban Development minister.
No immediate reaction was available from the LG office and Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar on the minister’s claims
In a statement, the AAP government said, “It appears that BJP-ruled Central government wants to repeat the same cheating they attempted in Chandigarh Mayor elections. They will try to manipulate the mayoral elections of the MCD as well.” They will face the same “embarrassment” they faced in the Supreme Court in Chandigarh mayoral election case, it said
