Fight intensifies: AAP Sehrawat accuses Bidhuri of hiding criminal cases

Fight intensifies in South Delhi. Aam Aadmi Party’s South Delhi parliamentary candidate Devinder Sehrawat alleged that his Bharatiya Janata Party rival on the seat, Ramesh Bidhuri has not given full information about criminal cases pending against him in the election affidavit.

“In his electoral affidavit, Ramesh Bidhuri had mentioned only three FIRs, while six FIRs are registered
against him in different police stations.

“On March 9 last year, Bidhuri allegedly misbehaved with a woman employee of Delhi Secretariat. Later, the woman had registered case against him,” Sehrawat said while addressing a press conference.

He also alleged that other cases, which involve him in land grabbing and criminal intimidation, are also registered against him in different police stations.

“Between 2004 and February 2014, several cases have been registered against Bidhuri. We are searching more cases registered against him in different police stations,” he said.

Ramesh Bidhuri counter attacked AamAadmi Party and said the newly formed party indulges in sensational accusations to defame him.

The AamAadmi Party’s hopes of winning in the South Delhi constituency were dealt a severe blow as enthusiastic supporters pooled in and donated Ramesh Bidhuri from BJP Rs 5 lakh towards his campaign.

It  would have hurt all the more as the supporters were essentially from Mahipalpur, the home turf of Aam Aadmi Party’s South Delhi candidate  Devinder Sehrawat.

Staring at a resounding defeat,  Sehrawat has hit back with malicious allegations regarding Bidhuri’s pending cases.

In what can be seen as an irresponsible attitude towards the public, the party seems to have done incomplete research as it has based its allegations solely on “press reports” and no concrete evidence.

Commenting on the baseless allegations, AshishSood, Vice President, BJP Delhi and Convenor of the elections of South Delhi Parliamentary Constituency, said, “It comes as little surprise as this is not the first time something like this has been done by the AAP. They have a reputation of spreading false rumours and making baseless accusations.  Bidhuri has maintained absolute transparency and we would request the public not to be misled by such unverified claims.”

He said that Sehrawat did not come forward with legitimate proofs of his allegations when the nomination was filed or, prior to the final list being declared.

In the interest of the public, the AAP candidate should have shared substantial evidence during scrutiny by the Election Commission which would have resulted in suspension of Bidhuri’s nomination.

The information shared by Sehrawat in his press release is full of errors. He has pointed out to a case in 2006, whereas Bidhuri has actually been acquitted in the case.

Sehrawat has referred to ‘media reports’ which is a frivolous source of evidence. There is no legitimate proof shared with the people

“Bidhuri has been a dedicated worker of the party in the constituency for over the past twenty years and has already been elected MLA from Tughlakabad thrice.  Highlighting half baked cases against Bidhuri is a poor attempt at undermining his sincere work,’ said Sood.
