Delhi Elections 2025 LIVE Updates: Delhi CM Atishi and AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal came to the office of Election Commission of India.Delhi chief minister Atishi levelled accusations against the BJP on Tuesday, claiming they were involved in disruptive activities. She alleged that both the Election Commission and Delhi Police were providing cover to BJP workers whilst targeting AAP members. During a press conference, Atishi, who is standing for election in Kalkaji, said that India's democratic process now rests with Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar, and the nation is observing whether democracy endures in the capital."The BJP is openly engaging in hooliganism. But instead of taking action against them, Delhi Police is protecting them, while the Election Commission is filing cases against those who are raising complaints," she said.She specifically pointed to BJP candidate Ramesh Bidhuri, her electoral opponent, alleging that he and his family members were causing disruptions in Kalkaji without facing any consequences.She emphasised that Delhi residents were observing the situation closely, contrasting the BJP's alleged attempts to halt welfare schemes and resort to violence with AAP's efforts to help households save Rs 25,000 monthly.These statements followed Delhi Police's registration of an FIR against Atishi for alleged violations of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) and interference with official duties.According to officials, she and approximately 50-70 supporters with 10 vehicles were discovered blocking Fateh Singh Marg, breaching the Model Code of Conduct. They reported that she allegedly hindered a police officer's duties when asked to clear the area.A police representative said that an AAP worker had struck a head constable.Atishi subsequently posted on X, criticising the Election Commission's perceived partiality. "BJP candidate Ramesh Bidhuri and his family members are openly engaging in hooliganism, yet no action is taken against them. Instead, a case has been filed against me," she wrote.The Delhi Assembly elections are set for February 5, with results to be announced on February 8.
