The sting operation indicates a conspiracy to manufacture and manipulate public opinion before elections through opinion polls. This conspiracy challenges the foundations of democracy, Kejriwal said.
“The sting operation shows the heads of some of the well known polling organisations are willing to manipulate pre-poll survey results for monetary considerations. There are serious allegations about many news channels being willing partners to this manipulations,” the letter said.
It shows that some political parties have been buying favourable surveys, often using black money. The latest revelations add to an earlier sting by Cobra Post which showed systematic manipulation of social media to favour a particular political party, the letter added.
“The sting operation supports AAP's consistent stand that persistent attempts were made by vested interests to manipulates the outcome of Delhi Assembly elections in December last, through a survey scam.
