Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday spoke on the upcoming Delhi assembly elections and said that there was a possibility that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) could wipe out all other parties.
Speaking to the media, Omar Abdullah said "There is a probability that AAP like the last elections might wipe off all the other parties in Delhi. People have not even voted, let the results come and then we will start the analysis..." Meanwhile, AAP's national convenor Arvind Kejriwal said that he had received information that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) could cause discrepancies in 10 per cent of the votes through machines. In a video released by AAP, Kejriwal further said that if the party had a 15 per cent lead, they could win by 5 per cent despite potential machine tampering. "I would like to tell the people of Delhi, that I have come to know through sources that they (BJP) can cause discrepancies in 10% of votes through machines. Vote in such large numbers that every vote goes to 'Jhaadu' (AAP). So if we have a 15% lead, we will win by 5%. Give us a lead of more than 10% everywhere...This is the only way to tackle machines, that you vote in large numbers..." Kejriwal said in the video. Furthermore, he said that taking a lesson from the Maharashtra and Haryana elections, a website had been developed in order to make sure that the machines could not be tampered with. "We have developed a website as a precautionary measure. Learning a lesson from the Maharashtra and Haryana elections, we have decided that on the night of 5th February, we will upload 6 details of every polling booth so that the machines can't be tampered with...If they cause any discrepancy on the day of counting, you can match the numbers...," he added. The national capital will go to the polls on February 5, and the election results will be declared on February 8. (ANI)
