Earlier in the day, after casting her vote, the Delhi Minister while speaking to a news agency had appealed to the people of Delhi to come out and cast their votes.
Meanwhile, AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj while speaking to reporters said that the poll panel should keep an eye so that nothing wrong happens on the polling day.
He said in case if the voting goes slow at any place, party leaders will request the police and officials to help increase the speed of the process so it becomes convenient for the voters, and they do not face issues due to the heat and weather.
On the eve of election in Delhi, that is on Friday, AAP leader Atishi had said that according to an information the Delhi LG had allegedly ordered Delhi Police to slow down the voting in those areas with large number of INDIA bloc supporters, and added that she hopes that poll panel will take notice and stops such attempt if any.
The LG had said that he had taken a stern view of this unwarranted and false statement on the eve of election against a constitutional authority.
