Overview

• On September 19, the Election Commission shared on X that it had sent a 76-page response with seven annexures to then Delhi chief minister Atishi on January 13, 2025.
• The reply cites an inquiry ordered after Atishi’s January 5 and 9 letters and a meeting with AAP leaders, with CEO and DEO reports stating actions adhered to election law.
• DEO/CEO material notes multi-level scrutiny, including rejection of 64% of 327 processed Form 6 inclusion requests for inadequate documents and police complaints under Section 31 for false information.
• AAP’s Saurabh Bhardwaj alleges large-scale deletion of supporters’ names, citing figures such as 42,000 and 6,166, and accuses the poll body of ignoring complaints and denying RTI details while demanding FIR records.
• Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva calls the charges baseless and urges AAP to file affidavits with formal complaints, and no new independent investigation has been disclosed.
