New Delhi, Sept 23: BJP today accused the Congress government in Delhi of "conspiring" to get almost five lakh bogus votes registered for the coming assembly elections in the national capital region. "We have surveyed all the 70 assembly constituencies in Delhi and have found 4,93,963 bogus voters' names and have forwarded the same to the Election Commission," Delhi BJP President Madan Lal Khurana told reporters here. Accusing the ration officers of collusion with the ruling party, senior BJP leader and chairman of the election campaign committee for Delhi Vijay Kumar Malhotra said the party will scrutainise the parliamentary voter lists and claimed "more than 10 lakh bogus votes would be found there." Claiming that in the present situation, free and fair polls in Delhi were "impossible," Malhotra regretted that despite repeated letters, the election commission has not responded and not even given time to the members of Parliament from Delhi to meet the EC. "If the commission fails to redress our grievances, we will be forced to take the evidence we have to the courts," he said.


He said BJP had told its units in other election-bound states to find out about the discrepancies in voter lists.

Alleging that bogus ration cards were made for people residing outside Delhi, Khurana said police should take action in this regard.


The two leaders also demanded that election commission expedite the allotment of photo identity cards to prevent bogus voting.
