Kejriwal Writes to RSS, Accuses BJP of Voter Roll 'Manipulation'
Hindustan Times Amritsar|January 02, 2025
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday stepped up its attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in an ongoing row over alleged manipulation of voters' list in a letter to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) head Mohan Bhagwat, alleging "open distribution of money" by BJP leaders and questioning whether the RSS supported the BJP's efforts to cut votes of Dalits, poor, Purvanchali and slum dwellers on a large scale.

NEW DELHI:

The RSS did not respond to requests for comment from HT, but the Delhi BJP hit out at the AAP, terming the letter written by Arvind Kejriwal "an attempt to divert attention from AAP government's shortcomings".

The communique comes against the backdrop of the RSS beginning a public outreach programme in Delhi in support of the BJP, on the lines of the campaigns it undertook in Haryana and Maharashtra.
