What's covered under the Article:

  1. ECI confirms that Form 17C was provided to all polling agents despite AAP’s allegations.
  2. Arvind Kejriwal accuses the Election Commission of withholding crucial polling data.
  3. BJP’s Chirag Paswan expresses confidence in forming the next government in Delhi.

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has officially clarified voting percentage data for the Delhi Assembly elections 2025, addressing allegations raised by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal regarding the non-distribution of Form 17C. Kejriwal had claimed that the polling data was not provided to party agents, raising concerns over election transparency.

ECI Counters AAP’s Claims on Form 17C

On February 5, 2025, Delhi witnessed a high-stakes electoral battle, with all major parties contesting for power. However, after polling concluded, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal alleged that the Election Commission did not provide Form 17C, a document that records the final vote count at each polling station and is essential for ensuring transparency in election results.

In response, the ECI firmly denied these accusations, stating that Form 17C was handed over to all polling agents at every station as per protocol. The commission emphasized that the process was conducted with full adherence to electoral guidelines, dismissing claims of irregularities.

This clarification comes at a crucial time, as political tensions rise ahead of the vote count. While AAP continues to question the electoral process, the ECI maintains that proper procedures were followed.

BJP Confident About Forming Government in Delhi

Meanwhile, BJP leader Chirag Paswan has expressed strong confidence in his party’s victory in Delhi. Speaking on the election outcome, Paswan stated that the BJP is poised to secure a majority, based on internal assessments and voting trends.

The BJP’s optimism follows a high voter turnout, with several constituencies witnessing intense competition between BJP, AAP, and Congress. The final results will determine whether AAP can retain power or if the BJP can take control of the Delhi Assembly.

The Road Ahead: Transparency vs. Political Rhetoric

The debate over election transparency has become a recurring theme in Indian politics, with parties frequently raising concerns over electoral integrity. While AAP’s allegations have fueled speculation, the ECI’s clarification seeks to reaffirm public confidence in the voting process.

As the vote counting process unfolds, the political landscape in Delhi remains unpredictable. If the BJP secures a majority, it could mark a major shift in Delhi’s governance, while an AAP win would reinforce its hold over the capital.
