AAP Accuses Election Commission of Withholding Key Polling Data in Delhi Election

Arvind Kejriwal and AAP leaders claim Form 17C data was not uploaded, while the Election Commission denies allegations and asserts compliance with transparency rules.

• AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) of refusing to upload Form 17C, which details booth-wise votes polled in the Delhi Assembly election.
• The party launched a website, transparentelections.in, to share Form 17C data for every assembly constituency, claiming it was necessary for transparency.
• The ECI responded by stating that Form 17C copies were provided to polling agents at each booth as required by election rules.
• The voter turnout for the Delhi election was reported at 60.54%, slightly lower than the 62.82% turnout in 2020, raising concerns from AAP leaders about its potential impact on their performance.
• The BJP is leading in early trends, aiming to reclaim power in Delhi after more than two decades, while AAP seeks a third consecutive term.
