Chandigarh, August 27

The SAD today asked the Election Commission of India (ECI) to investigate the alleged rampant violation of electoral laws by AAP. This followed the revelations that the party was reportedly amassing crores of rupees to distribute its party tickets for the 2017 Assembly elections.

In a statement issued here today, Akali MPs, including Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa, Balwinder Singh Bhundur, Harsimrat Kaur Badal, Prem Singh Chandumajra , Naresh Gujral, Ranjit Singh Brahmpura and Sher Singh Ghubaiya, urged the ECI to verify the disclosures made by former AAP convenor Suchha Singh Chhottepur against the party and initiate proceedings to disqualify AAP from national politics.

“The alleged party of change has turned out to be a money collection machine, which is milking gullible Punjabis by promising tickets to them,” the MPs said.

“This has vitiated the electoral politics in Punjab,” they added.
