AAP Accuses BJP MP Sinha of Voting in Both Delhi and Bihar
Imagine that you can only be registered to vote in one place, like your hometown.
Some politicians from a party called AAP are saying that some politicians from another party, BJP, voted in two different places.
They voted in Delhi a few months ago and then voted again in Bihar on Thursday.
AAP says this is like cheating in an election.
But the BJP politicians say they didn't cheat.
One BJP leader, Rakesh Sinha, explained that he used to be registered in Delhi but officially changed his voting place to his village in Bihar because he is more involved in politics there.
He feels AAP is just spreading lies because they are upset about losing in Delhi.
AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj alleged BJP leaders, including MP Rakesh Sinha, voted in both Delhi Assembly elections (February) and the first phase of Bihar Assembly elections (Thursday).
Bharadwaj accused the BJP of 'massive voter fraud' and 'vote theft', questioning the Election Commission's voter roll revisions.
BJP MP Rakesh Sinha denied the allegations, stating his voter registration was officially changed from Delhi to his village in Bihar.
BJP leader Santosh Ojha also denied the claims, suggesting AAP's accusations stem from frustration over their Delhi election loss.
Bharadwaj urged citizens to speak out against 'vote theft' peacefully and democratically.
