'Money And Liquor Being Distributed': Atishi Writes To EC Official, Claims MCC Violation In Kalkaji
The Delhi CM urged the poll body to increase the deployment of paramilitary forces in the slum clusters of Kalkaji and ensure 24x7 patrolling to ensure voters cast ballots without any fear.

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Thursday made fresh claims regarding violation of the model code of conduct in a letter to the Returning Officer of Kalkaji Assembly constituency ahead of the upcoming polls. She claimed distribution of money and liquor in "large quantities inside camp areas" in Kalkaji and urged the poll bod to increase the deployment of paramilitary forces in the constituency to ensure voters cast ballots "without fear".
"I have come to know that money and liquor being distributed in large quantities inside camp areas, especially Nehru Camp, Navjeevan Camp, Transit Camp A & B and Pocket A 14, Kalkaji… There is a need to increase the presence of paramilitary forces in slum clusters of Kalkaji Assembly constituency to ensure that the voters can cast their vote without fear in the upcoming assembly elections," the Delhi CM said in the letter.
The AAP leader further claimed that there were incidents of violence in the Assembly constituency on January 27 and 28, wherein a resident of Nehru Camp was picked up and assaulted by anti-social elements. "These people were carrying guns and axes with them," she said, adding that a complaint has already been made regarding this incident.
"Later these people were also seen roaming around with area Delhi Police Constable Jai Bhagwan," she said.
Atishi mentioned another incident of violence, saying that a resident of Navjeevan Camp and his aunt were "brutally attacked with iron rods". "Abhishek was taken to a room that the above mentioned anti-social elements have made in Hanuman Park and beaten mercilessly," she told the Kalkaji RO.

The Delhi CM then went on to highlight the need to increase the paramilitary forces deployment in the slum clusters of Kalkaji, the constituency from where she is contesting the Delhi polls. She also sought 24x7 patrolling by paramilitary forces in these JJ clusters to "dissuade anti-social elements to ensure confidence amongst voters".
Two days ago, Atishi had written a letter to Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar demanding action against the BJP-led Haryana government, accusing it of trying to "sabotage water supply" in the national capital.
Calling it "water terrorism", Atishi claimed that the ammonia levels in the water coming to Yamuna in Delhi from Haryana had increased due to mixing of untreated sewage or industrial waste. She further accused the Haryana government of "deliberately impacting the conduct of free and fair elections" by sabotaging Delhi's water supply and causing the water crisis in the city.
