Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of instructing its MLAs to buy fake votes in their constituencies and get the votes of his party deleted in the Delhi Assembly polls.

"A top BJP leader has directed all Delhi BJP MLAs to get at least 5000 fake votes made in each constituency, and get AAP votes deleted. Bribe rate-Rs 1500 for new fake vote, Rs 200 to get any vote deleted. This information given by someone who did this job for BJP last week," Kejriwal said on twitter.

The AAP convener further said that his party leaders would be meeting officials of the Election Commission of India on Monday to file a formal complaint in this regard.

 

"We are meeting EC officials on Mon at 11 am and making a formal complaint," he wrote.

Delhi has been under President's rule since Kejriwal resigned as the Chief Minister on February 14 after being in office for 49 days.

The BJP won 31 seats in the 70-member house while the AAP emerged victorious in 28 seats in the Delhi Assembly polls held last year.
