Kejriwal demands CEC Gyanesh Kumar’s arrest, fresh polls over ‘vote chori’ allegations

New Delhi, Sep 23 (UNI) Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday demanded the arrest and prosecution of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, alleging that the Election Commission’s handling of electoral rolls amounted to a massive “vote chori” scam and called for fresh elections in several states.
Kejriwal’s attack came after “The Indian Express” reported that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had recorded objections at least 14 times over the past 10 months to decisions and orders they said were issued without their knowledge or the approval of the three-member poll panel. Their objections included changes to voter-registration Form 6, deletion and restoration of names and the centralisation of voter database access.
Calling the revelations the “biggest scandal in independent India”, Kejriwal alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and union Home Minister Amit Shah had benefited from “vote theft” and described Kumar as the alleged “mastermind” behind it.
