Besides, AAP’s national Convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will stay put here to keep a ‘tab’ on the polling so as to ‘check any illegal activity’ during the highstakes Assembly election. 

“We will deploy 15,000 volunteers outside the polling stations in the state. They will be equipped with spy cameras, button hole cameras and key chain cameras to keep a check on any illegal activity going on to influence voters,” a party leader said on Friday. They will check whether any voter is being ‘induced by liquor or cash by political opponents’, he said. “As soon as such activity comes to light, the team stationed at Chandigarh will immediately point out the illegal activity to the Election Commission for prompt action,” the leader said. 

AAP had done the similar tactic during Delhi polls and claimed to have seen ‘good results with seizure of cash and liquor.’ The AAP leader said Kejriwal’s presence here “will be a moral support for the party candidates.”
