Kejriwal has levelled allegations on the Bharatiya Janata Party that votes of Purvanchalis and traders were deleted at the behest of the party.
Goel tweeted that the “lie” of the Arvind Kejriwal government on deletion of votes in Delhi was “exposed”. Along with a clipping of a newspaper report which quoted EC as saying 1.99 lakh votes were deleted as against 30 lakh claimed by Kejriwal, Goel wrote on Twitter in Hindi: "The lie of Arvind Kejriwal government is exposed. Stop misguiding Delhi people. Chief Electoral Officer report- names deleted due to death or change in address. The voter list does not maintain caste data.”
Snapping back at Goel Kejriwal tweeted: “Vijay ji we got the list of deleted names by forcing the Election Commission. We are speaking on the basis of that list. The list is already with you because you people have got the names deleted. Count the surnames of Puravanchalis and Banias in the list."
Goel had hit back charging that the AAP was "fooling" the Bania community in Delhi. Upon Kejriwal's allegations, Goel asked that was he bent upon proving the constitutional institutions wrong
The Aam Aadmi Party leadership has been accusing the BJP of getting deleted over 30 lakh votes since Assembly elections in Delhi in 2015. The party leaders also alleged that most of the deleted names belonged to Purvanchali and Bania community in Delhi.
Earlier this month, the two parties had locked horns over the issue with Kejriwal saying the traders community would not vote for the BJP because they were angry with the party.
