**Headline: AAP Accuses BJP of “Vote Theft” in Delhi, Launches Complaint Campaign**
**New Delhi, August 21, 2025 (The Hindu)** – The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has launched a campaign accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of “stealing votes” during the recent Delhi Assembly election and failing to deliver on promised financial incentives. Dubbed “Chori ki Shikayat Dein” (Register Complaints of Theft), the campaign aims to highlight what the AAP views as deceptive practices by the ruling party.
AAP Delhi president Saurabh Bharadwaj alleged the BJP secured victory by manipulating voter lists and making false promises to the electorate. “It has now been six months of the BJP’s rule in Delhi, and women voters are feeling cheated. The first theft was of votes. BJP won the Delhi Assembly election by deleting genuine voters’ names and creating fake votes.” Bharadwaj claimed, adding that the party also distributed inducements like sarees and money in exchange for votes.
The AAP specifically pointed to unfulfilled promises of ₹1,100 and later ₹2,500 monthly payments to women, discounted LPG cylinders, and other gifts promised during the campaign. Bharadwaj emphasized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s alleged promise to transfer ₹2,500 to women’s bank accounts on March 8 if the BJP formed the government in Delhi. “But till now, not a single woman has received this amount. This means the ₹2,500 due to women has been stolen. Women are filing complaints of this ₹ 2,500 theft,” he said.
The AAP’s launch of the “Chori ki Shikayat Dein” campaign signals a renewed offensive against the BJP’s governance in Delhi and sets the stage for potentially heightened political tensions in the capital.
