Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday, February 9, questioned the Election Commission of India (ECI) for allegedly not allowing the Aam Party (AAP) government to inquire the issue of deletion of voters’ names from electoral rolls in the national capital. Hinting at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), he underlined that the commission is precious for the country and should not become the agent of “a political party”.

Kejriwal took to Twitter after the Chief Electoral Officer in Delhi issued a notification on February 9 warning the citizens to beware of calls from unknown persons, entities and sources who call and inform them that their names have been deleted from the electoral rolls and they will help them in restoring the same.
