Sanjay Singh should be quizzed by EC on bogus voter registrations, says BJP

Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva on Thursday accused the Aam Aadmi Party Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh of allegedly deceiving people of the national capital and violating electoral laws by bogus voter registrations.

He claimed that Singh was registered as a voter in multiple constituencies like Sultanpur Municipal Council in Uttar Pradesh, New Delhi Assembly, and Tilak Nagar Assembly constituencies. He also said that they were criminal actions and they should be investigated.

“We have presented facts from official government and municipal council voter lists. Sanjay Singh is listed in three places. He has cheated the Election Commision,” Sachdeva said.

He further said, “On January 4, 2024, he announced that his vote in Sultanpur Assembly has been removed, and on January 8, 2024, his wife submits an affidavit stating she has a vote in Sultanpur.”

He presented the voter lists and affidavits to substantiate his claims and said that when Sanjay Singh became a RS member his vote was registered in the Hari Nagar Assembly constituency but during the same time, his name was present in the voter list of Sultanpur Municipal Council.

He accused Singh of registering votes in the New Delhi Assembly and Tilak Nagar Assembly constituencies as well. “He wasn’t satisfied with Hari Nagar and Sultanpur. He registered in the New Delhi Assembly and Tilak Nagar Assembly too. This is their farjiwada (fraud). These are deceitful practices,” Sachdeva said.

Sachdeva urged the Election Commission and Delhi Police to take cognisance of the matter and initiate action against such violations.

Meanwhile, Singh sent legal notices to BJP social media head Amit Malviya and MP Manoj Tiwari. Amit Malviya and Manoj Tiwari had accused Sanjay Singh of having more than one voter ID card.

The Delhi Assembly polls are due to be held in February 2025. However, the Election Commission has not announced the dates of the polls.
