Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament from Punjab Raghav Chadha on Thursday said the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab had taken its “politics of revenge” to the draft electoral rolls, alleging that his name was deleted from the rolls and classified as “shifted”.Chadha, who had recently quit the AAP along with six other Rajya Sabha MPs to join the BJP, said his name was deleted only from the draft rolls, allegedly at the behest of the AAP leadership, which, he claimed, had full control over state government officials involved in mapping the voter lists and verifying the classification.“The Claims and Objections to the draft rolls are being submitted, and the final electoral roll will be published in October. The officials involved in the exercise know that the AAP Government controls their transfers, postings and careers once their electoral duty ends. This is how the AAP government applies political pressure through state officers to execute the political revenge,” he told The Tribune.Talking to The Tribune, Chadha said it was the “corrupt Punjab government’s tactic” to get back at him after he left the party.“Ever since I left the corrupt Aam Aadmi Party, its leadership has been burning with anger. It has unleashed the Punjab Police and the Punjab Government’s administrative machinery against those of us who refused to remain silent. Other MPs who left AAP and joined the BJP have also been targeted by the Punjab Government. This wrongful classification is only the latest act in that political vendetta,” he said.Chadha said his voter ID was registered in Mohali and he was not attempting to shift his vote to Delhi, as alleged by the AAP.“Despite clear instructions of the Election Commission of India, and more importantly, Paragraph 4(d) of the ECI’s Detailed Guidelines for SIR, a ‘protected list’ has been created for public representatives whose names are identified,” he said.He added that if his name had been flagged, Paragraph 4(d) required his inclusion in the draft electoral rolls.“This instruction was not overlooked. It was wilfully violated in my case,” he said.The guidelines state that all names of members of the judiciary, public representatives, holders of declared offices and personalities from the fields of arts, culture, journalism, sports and public services, among others, that were earlier flagged in the electoral database are to be included in the Draft Electoral Rolls so that necessary documents can also be collected during the period of Claims and Objections.
