Varanasi, Nov 27: In major embarrassment for the Indian Prime Minister and his party, the Election Commission has so far traced over three lakh fake voters in Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency wherein Narendra Modi defeated Aam Aadmi Party supremo Arvind Kejriwal with a huge margin earlier this year.
The officials, who have been given the responsibility of the task, personally visited every voters' house to see if he was the same one who placed his or her vote in the elections. This process have completed half-way and so far over three-lakh bogus voters have been traced.
In the Lok Sabha elections held more than six months ago, Mr Modi outclassed Mr Kejriwal by a margin of 3,71,784 votes. Congress candidate Ajay Rai (75,614 votes) was at third spot followed by Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) candidate Prakash jaiswal (60,579 votes) and Samajwadi Party's (SP) Kailash Chaurasiya (48,291) at fourth and fifth spots respectively.
Taking consigns of the matter, the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP has sharply criticized BJP for this development. However, no comments have been received from BJP so far. AAP has published this post over their Facebook page.
If we go by district administration's claims, they are expecting to find around 1,12,160 bogus voters in Pindra, 1,01,456 in Ajgara, 87,140 in Shivpur, 84,757 in Rohania, 65,989 in Cantt, and 90,942 in Sewapuri regions.
