Delhi Assembly Election: Latest BJP-AAP Battle Centres Around Purvanchal Votes. Here's Why It Matters
ABP NewsPurvanchali votes have become the centre of the latest battle between the Aam Aadmi Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party ahead of assembly polls in Delhi. Nadda's statement soon snowballed into a controversy with AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal accusing the BJP president of calling the people of the Purvanchali community "Rohingyas and Bangladeshis", and "admitting" that their names were being deleted from voters' list in Delhi ahead of assembly polls. “BJP national president JP Nadda has openly accepted in the Parliament that BJP workers are getting the names of people of Purvanchal, and illegal Bangladeshi immigrants and Rohingyas deleted. "Purvanchalis have not forgotten Arvind Kejriwal's statement of September 30, 2019, that people from Biharis come to Delhi with a Rs 500-rupee ticket, get free treatment worth Rs 5 lakh and then leave," said Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said.
