- BJP leader Raghav Chadha, a Rajya Sabha member from Punjab who left AAP in April, said his name was marked as 'shifted' in the state's draft electoral rolls and accused the AAP government of political vendetta through its officials.
- AAP denied the charge, saying the Election Commission conducts the Special Intensive Revision and the state government has no role, while also accusing Chadha of trying to register as a Delhi voter through a backdated process.
- The Punjab chief electoral officer's office declined to comment on the political allegations but assured that any genuine missing name will be added back through due process since this is only a draft roll.
- The dispute highlights tensions between AAP and former lawmakers who defected to the BJP.
What to watch next
- Whether Chadha's name is restored in the final electoral roll after the draft stage
- Any Election Commission response or inquiry into the 'shifted' classification
- Further actions by Punjab authorities against other former AAP lawmakers now with the BJP, as Chadha alleges
