Kolkata, Apr 27: AAP leader and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday alleged that a BJP-EC conspiracy led to the deletion of 90 lakh voters from the electoral rolls in West Bengal under the SIR exercise, claiming it was part of a larger plan to target citizenship documents.
Addressing an election rally in Rasbehari constituency here, Kejriwal also accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of “insulting” the people of the state by deploying 3.5 lakh security personnel for the Assembly polls.
He urged those whose names were allegedly deleted from the voters’ list to support the Trinamool Congress.
“Go and tell your friends, relatives and neighbours to vote for TMC candidates in this election. Didi has to win this fight against the BJP, which wants to take away your citizenship rights as part of a bigger game plan to win the polls,” he said.
“Remember, they (BJP) will get your citizenship documents, such as ration cards, cancelled, and only Mamata Banerjee can help you. She will stand by you,” he said.
