AAP Accuses Election Commission of Bias Toward BJP

Quick Summary:

• Teh Aam Aadmi party (AAP) has announced its plan to contest all 243 Bihar Assembly seats in the upcoming elections.
• As of August 20, 2025, the Election Commission of India (ECI) states that AAP has only submitted one booth-level agent (BLA), despite Bihar having a total of 90,712 polling booths.
• AAP’s Bihar president Rakesh kumar Yadav alleged that the ECI is giving “step-motherly treatment” and is “in league” with the ruling BJP. Yadav emphasized their party’s strong organizational base at booth and panchayat levels and promised their BLA list within a month.
• There are discrepancies in appointing BLAs by AAP district officials; some denied involvement or became unreachable when contacted.
• Comparatively,BJP appointed 53,338 BLAs while JD(U) listed 36,550; Opposition parties such as RJD recorded 47,506 BLAs and Congress had 17,549 validated agents. BSP reported only 74 BLAs alongside AAP’s single registration.
• NDA leaders mocked AAP’s decision to contest independently because of limited organizational readiness ahead of polls set for October-November this year.

Indian Opinion Analysis:
AAP’s announcement to contest all assembly seats in Bihar represents an enterprising political goal but faces critical logistical challenges as shown by its inability to appoint booth-level agents across polling stations reliably-a key component for any successful electoral strategy at grassroots levels.Allegations against the Election Commission further highlight ongoing tensions between political parties and electoral authorities but lack substantive evidence from self-reliant corroboration based on available public records.

Given BJP’s extensive BLA appointments and JDU/RJD’s comparatively stronger groundwork preparations-as highlighted in ECI records-the competition remains tilted toward established players with entrenched networks statewide while raising valid scrutiny re internal-state within party unit-command functionality response gaps-too operationally? Analysts would argue fair-selection complexlayers.setupทดลองใช้ฟรี
