With just two days left for voting in the Delhi Assembly polls, AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal said on Monday his party has distributed spy cameras and and body cameras among people in slum areas to capture "wrongdoings" and "electoral malpractices" by the BJP and its "goons". In a video message released on the final day of campaigning for the February 5 polls, Kejriwal said the AAP is heading towards a historic victory and the BJP its worst defeat in its existence and that is why it is resorting to "unfair tactics".
"We have distributed spy cameras and body cameras among people living in slum areas to capture the misdeeds of BJP's goons. We have also formed multiple Quick Response Teams (QRTs) which will reach such locations within 15 minutes to prevent unconstitutional activities and ensure the perpetrators are arrested." the AAP chief said.
"The BJP will use its goons and Delhi Police extensively to win the elections. They will try to intimidate voters, especially those in slum areas," he claimed.
There was no immediate reaction from the BJP to Kejriwal's allegations.
The former Delhi chief minister alleged BJP workers would attempt to bribe slum-dwellers by offering Rs 3,000-Rs 5,000 and marking their fingers with black ink to prevent them from voting on election day.
"Take their money, but do not let them put ink on your finger," he urged voters.
Cautioning them against the alleged BJP manipulations, Kejriwal claimed the party would demolish slums if voted to power. "Selling your votes would be like signing your own death warrant," he said.
Delhi goes to polls on February 5 and the results on February 8 will determine whether the AAP retains power or if Delhi sees a change in leadership.
On the final day of campaigning, the BJP has scheduled 22 roadshows and rallies across Delhi, intensifying its bid to reclaim power in the capital after more than 25 years.
On the other hand, the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) remains confident of securing a third straight term, banking on its governance model of free welfare schemes.
The Congress, which ruled the capital for 15 years until 2013, is striving to regain its lost ground after drawing a blank in the last two elections.
