Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal, along with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and other party leaders, launched a protest on Friday in the national capital against the Bharatiya Janata Party over the Chandigarh mayoral elections. Speaking during the protest, Kejriwal launched a scathing attack on the BJP-led Centre, saying that the saffron party messes up elections, steals votes, and tampers with EVMs. In the video shared by AAP, Kejriwal can be seen chanting the slogan "gali gali mei shor hai, BJP vote chor hai" (there is noise in the street that the BJP is vote thief).
"BJP messes up in elections; there were often allegations that BJP wins elections by messing up; BJP steals election votes, tampers with EVMs, gets names removed from the voter list, and adds fake names, we heard. We used to hear that fake votes were cast, but never found any proof,” Kejriwal said, as quoted by news agency ANI.
“There is a verse written in the Gita, Yada Yada hi Dharmasya Glanirbhavati Bharata: whenever too much sin is committed on this earth, then the God above will come to the earth. This election in Chandigarh shows that they are the pot of sin. How did it get filled? When the pot of sin gets filled too much, then nature moves its broom, and God moves its broom and corrects things. The Chandigarh election was a small one. The world's biggest party was caught stealing votes in the Chandigarh elections; it was caught red-handed," he added.
The Delhi CM further stated that parties and leaders keep coming and going; today the BJP is ruling, and tomorrow someone else will. "We have not come here to seek power. Elections keep coming. Parties keep on coming and going. Leaders keep on coming. Leaders keep on coming. Today the BJP is ruling; tomorrow someone else will be. There should not be any playing with our democracy; those who have started playing with the elections, those who are playing with the democracy, were caught on camera," the AAP chief said.
