Congress leader Kiran Walia has accused Aam Aadmi Party chief ministerial candidate Arvind Kejriwal of having committed fraud by submitting a false affidavit to the Election Commission that he is a permanent resident of 87, Block K, B.K. Dutt Colony, New Delhi – 110001.
“He claims to have been living there for long and has even procured a voter ID card fraudulently on the same address. Everyone in the country as well as in the New Delhi constituency and even B.K. Dutt Colony knows that Mr. Kejriwal does not live there, and the statement in his affidavit is false,” said Ms. Walia in a release .
She said that she had reported the matter to the Election Commission as well as other law enforcing agencies but the final verdict would come from the people’s court.

Reacting to the allegation, AAP leader Ashish Khetan said that the matter was entirely between Ms. Walia and the EC ; it appeared that both the BJP and the Congress were working on the single agenda of targeting Mr. Kejriwal as they were bereft of ideas for the EC .
Ms. Walia had earlier said that the AAP’s short-rule in Delhi was “a waste of time”.
“They cheated people and now the people realise and tell me that they want the Congress back. The AAP and the BJP are no different from each other. Both just want to win. Their 49- day rule was actually an eye-opener for Delhiites. You can’t have an anarchist to be the Chief Minister of Delhi,” she said.
