New Delhi, January 30

Delhi CM and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal has alleged that the BJP won the elections using unfair means, calling the events that unfolded a “black day for democracy”.

Constitution trampled by BJP

It’s a black day for our democracy... Days after nation celebrated Republic Day, the BJP chose to trample country’s Constitution. Bhagwant Mann, Punjab CM

The BJP won the Chandigarh mayoral elections by committing “fraud in broad daylight”, he said at a press conference here. “Seventy-six years ago on January 30, Mahatma Gandhi — the preacher of non-violence —was assassinated. On the same day, the BJP has murdered democracy. This hooliganism is very dangerous for democracy. The act of treason was caught on camera,” he alleged.

The AAP chief said that people saw on social media how the BJP elected its Mayor.

Attacking the BJP, he alleged the BJP chose their own office-bearer as the poll presiding officer.
