As the date for the Delhi assembly polls draws nearer, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) wrote a letter to the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) stating that sources have informed the party that "anti-social elements" with the aid of "certain political parties" are conspiring to create "unrest and violence" in the national capital on February 2 (today).
"We have come to know through our sources that certain anti-social elements in connivance with certain political parties are planning to create unrest and violence on February 2 to subvert law and order in Delhi and to impede the conduct of free and fair election scheduled on February 8," AAP said in the letter.
They have also submitted the video to the poll panel in which a group can be witnessed making a call to assemble Sarita Vihar in large numbers.
They have requested the commission to act immediately and directed the Commissioner of Police to initiate an investigation into the matter.
"In the light of these, we apprehend that this may be a well-planned conspiracy to sabotage the Delhi Legislative Assembly Election 2020. We request the commission to act immediately and direct the Commissioner of Police and other agencies to investigate and take appropriate measures to pre-empt any such criminal act," AAP stated in the letter.
Delhi Assembly elections will be held on February 8 while counting of votes will be conducted on February 11. The ruling AAP is locked in a triangular contest with the BJP and the Congress but is favourite to retain the Union Territory.
