AAP Seeks Electoral Rolls from Gujarat CEC, BJP Responds
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Gujarat wants to see the digital copies of the lists of voters (electoral rolls) from recent elections.
They're worried that there were problems in past elections, like people's names missing.
They've asked the Election Commission to give them these digital copies.
If they don't get them, AAP says they might protest.
The BJP, which is the ruling party, says the rolls are already available online and accuses AAP of making accusations without proof.
AAP's Gujarat unit requested digital electoral rolls from the Gujarat CEC.
The request covers rolls from Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation and Gujarat Assembly elections.
AAP cited concerns over irregularities in past elections, threatening public agitation.
BJP responded by questioning AAP's motives and pointing to public availability of rolls.
The dispute centers on transparency and fairness in Gujarat's election process.
