Delhi BJP Accuses Kejriwal of Sharing Edited Clip of CM Rekha Gupta on EVM Row

Party leaders cite a longer interview to claim her comments were taken out of context.

Overview

  • Arvind Kejriwal posted a 14‑second video of Rekha Gupta with the caption “What is the CM of Delhi saying,” setting off a fresh dispute over electronic voting machines.
  • AAP said the short clip suggested the BJP had effectively admitted to vote theft in the Delhi elections.
  • BJP leaders, including IT cell head Amit Malviya, shared a 1 minute 20 second version and said Gupta was rejecting EVM allegations as baseless and referring to opposition claims.
  • Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva accused Kejriwal of promoting a doctored interview to malign Gupta’s image, with no independent verification of manipulation presented in the reports.
  • Separately, BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor dismissed AAP claims about drugs being freely available in Delhi and questioned the previous AAP government’s record on anti‑drug campaigns.
