AAP releases video of alcohol distribution

New Delhi: As Delhi goes to polls on Wednesday, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has now released a video of how in violation of the Election Commission guidelines, alcohol is being distributed in Delhi by rival parties. Pointing fingers at the Congress and BJP, Arvind Kejriwal's party has filed a complaint with the EC and has demanded adequate actions be taken.

The Aam Aadmi Party has uploaded a video shot at Ambedkar Tikona Park in Badli Gaon and says the liquor bottles in this video were meant for distribution among voters by other political parties. The party has now filed a complaint before the state Election Commission.

AAP has also deployed hundreds of volunteers around slums clusters, jhuggis and resettlement colonies in different assembly constituencies in outer Delhi and other areas notorious for such practises under its 'Vote Ki Chowkidari' (protect your vote) programme ahead of tomorrow's vote.

"We have made all efforts to stop the age old practise of distribution of cash and liquor before polls as part of our 'Vote Ki Chowkidari' programme. We have deployed our volunteers, armed with spycams and mobile phone apps that will help them immediately inform Election Commission about any such incident," an AAP leader said.

They would keep a strict vigil in these areas from 5 PM onwards till early in the morning. "They would be backed our 30-35 Emergency Response Teams (ERT), which we have deployed strategically, and our legal team throughout the night," he said, adding "we will make all efforts to check this practise." Giving details about the mobile app, the leader said, "as soon as anyone sends message using the GPS-enabled app, it automatically gives the exact geographical position”.
