The Hindu
No voter names deleted in New Delhi Assembly constituency during polling, despite allegations of manipulation by AAP.
There were no major complaints of names deleted from the voter’s list during polling in the New Delhi Assembly constituency on Wednesday (February 5, 2025), despite the Aam Aadmi Party’s repeated allegations in the run-up to the Delhi Assembly election that the BJP was attempting large-scale manipulation of the electoral roll.
Election Commission officials had dismissed the allegations as baseless.
The Hindu criss-crossed the New Delhi Assembly constituency, but did not find anyone whose name was not on the voter list when they arrived at their polling booths on Wednesday (February 5, 2025), except for a group of people who had previously lived in a slum near Kali Bari which was demolished in October 2024, after which they had moved away from the area.

Prema Devi, 60, who lives in a slum cluster near Lodhi Road, said that she did not face any issues while voting. “I voted earlier in the day and did not face any issue. None of the people who live in my slum that I know had any problems. But we go and vote every election in the fear that otherwise, our names will be deleted from the voter list,” Ms. Devi said, standing next to her tea stall.
At her polling booth, a school in Lodhi Road, volunteers also said that they had not received any complaints of names being deleted from the electoral roll on Wednesday (February 5, 2025) morning.
Outside another polling booth near Pilanji village, Muni Devi, 55, said that she had voted without any difficulty and did not know anyone who faced any problems.
