The Delhi Police registered two cases on Tuesday—one against Chief Minister Atishi for violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) and another against her supporters for obstructing government work and attacking police.

CM Atishi’s convoy of 10 vehicles, carrying 50-60 supporters, reached Fateh Singh Marg, and when the police requested her to return, citing MCC enforcement, she refused to comply. A case was subsequently filed against her on a complaint by the Election Commission of India (ECI).

After being booked, Atishi, the AAP candidate for the Kalkaji seat, criticized both the Delhi Police and the ECI for acting in a partisan manner. In a post on the social media platform X, she alleged that her opponent Ramesh Bidhuri’s family was openly violating the MCC, yet no action had been taken against them.

Hitting out at Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar, she wrote, “The Election Commission is also amazing! Ramesh Bidhuri ji’s family members are openly violating the Model Code of Conduct. No action is being taken against them. I filed a complaint and called the police and @ECISVEEP, and they filed a case against me! Rajiv Kumar ji: How much will you ruin the electoral process.”

Meanwhile, the BJP candidate for the Kalkaji seat, who is Ramesh Bidhuri’s nephew Manish Bidhuri, has been booked under the Representation of People Act.

Campaigning for the Delhi Assembly polls ended on Monday, with 699 candidates vying for 70 constituencies. The elections are widely seen as a referendum on the ruling AAP’s governance of the national capital over the past ten years. They will also shape the future of the BJP in Delhi for the next five years and test whether the Congress can stage a comeback in the national capital.

The 70-member Delhi Assembly will go to polls on Wednesday, with results declared on February 8.
