EC sends a letter to the Police Commissioner Of Delhi: What seems to be a scam is now a hashtag on twitter #KejriwalMakingFakeCalls
February 11, 2019 —
CM Arvind Kejriwal & Aam Aadmi Party has been hit by yet another scam. Many people are calling it a marketing gimmick in the election time. This time it’s not about any rigged Electronic Voting Machines(EVMs). Also, it is not about any criminal conspiracy or corruption scandal that Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal wants to bust.
Since the onset of the election time in India, a large number of people in Delhi have been receiving scam calls. The callers claim to be a member of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Further, they are telling people that their names have been deleted from the voter list by the BJP. They also go out to say that the total no. of deleted names totals to around 30 lakh. The concerned authorities are investigating the matter.
Voice Recording Shared ByBhartiya Janata Party
The official twitter handle of BJP shared a voice recording which has been making rounds over the internet.
This call was recorded by one of our well wishers. Several people in Delhi have received such misleading calls.
EC must take note of this gross violation by AAP and Shri Arvind Kejriwal.
If anyone of you have also received such calls, do write in. #KejriwalMakingFakeCalls pic.twitter.com/i5nVp2TfAE

Whoever is behind all this is spamming common people and they are getting tired of these political gimmicks before elections. The complaints have reached the concerned authorities. We hope the pre-election phase will not be used to waste the time of the hardworking Indians.
