Delhi Chief Minister Atishi has been booked in an FIR for allegedly violating the model code of conduct ahead of the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections. Atishi, who is contesting from the Kalkaji seat, is accused of using a government vehicle for personal purposes. The FIR was filed by the returning officer, as reported by news agency ANI.

Atishi used government vehicle for political purpose

The issue arose after a Public Works Department (PWD) vehicle was reportedly seen delivering election campaign materials to an AAP office following the election announcement on January 7. This act is being viewed as a misuse of government resources for political purposes.

A Kalkaji resident, KS Duggal, filed a separate complaint with the Govindpuri police station. In response to the allegations, the returning officer instructed the police to take immediate action against South-East Divisional Executive Engineer Sanjay Kumar, who is said to be involved in the incident.

Arvind Kejriwal confirms FIR

AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal confirmed the FIR against Atishi, who is scheduled to file her nomination for the upcoming elections today. “Their leaders openly distribute money, sarees, blankets, gold chains, etc., and get fake votes made, yet not even an FIR is registered. But an FIR is immediately registered against Chief Minister Atishi ji,” Kejriwal said in a post on social media platform X.

He further expressed that AAP is fighting against a corrupt system, with both the BJP and Congress being part of it.

“Aam Aadmi Party is fighting against the entire system. This rotten system has to be changed and cleaned together with the people. Both BJP and Congress are part of the same rotten system,” he further added.

Atishi, the current MLA from Kalkaji, has been renominated by AAP to contest from the constituency. The BJP has fielded veteran leader and former MP Ramesh Bidhuri, making the Kalkaji seat one of the most closely watched races this election season. The Delhi Assembly elections are set for February 5, with results to be announced on February 8.
