AAP Cries Foul, Claims Results Manipulated

The AAP attempted to mar the celebrations and exuberance in the BJP camp over a thumping poll victory in 7 out of 12 wards by allegations of electoral fraud. The AAP's Delhi unit chief, Saurabh Bharadwaj, alleged that his party's candidate Seema Goyal was first declared as the 'winner' on the Election Commission (EC) portal but then the results were "reversed" during recounting, making the BJP nominee victorious.

He also shared a purported screenshot of the EC portal to corroborate his charge and claimed that the AAP's Seema Goyal trounced her BJP rival Veena Asija by a difference of 179 votes. The screenshot showed the AAP candidate polling 8,304 votes while the BJP nominee got 8,125 votes.The allegation of electoral fraud in the recently-held MCD elections is set to spark fresh controversy, as the Opposition parties have been raising allegations of "match-fixing" between the poll panel and BJP to turn the results in the latter's favour.
