BJP misusing Election Commission to stay in power, says Tewari

Chandigarh MP and former Union Minister Manish Tewari said the BJP, driven by its greed to remain in power, was misusing the Election Commission, which clearly reflects its ill-intentions.

During his visit to the city, while interacting with party workers, Tewari said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had already exposed before the people the BJP’s conspiracy to steal votes by manipulating the electoral process. After winning the Maharashtra Assembly elections through such means, the BJP had to face a major defeat in the Lok Sabha elections due to of its vote-rigging practices.

He said in Bihar, votes of Dalits, minorities and other sections of society were deliberately removed just because the BJP believed they would not support the party. However, the Supreme Court had delivered a significant judgment by directing the commission to make public details of the deleted votes.

Former district Congress president Pawan Dewan, Inderjit Kapoor, Sushil Malhotra, Deepak Hans, former councillor Kuldeep Janda, Dharmendra Verma, Joginder Jangi, Sunil Sehgal, Rakesh Kaushal, Rohit Pahwa, Rajneesh Chopra, Harbhagat Singh Grewal and Tarsem Lal were among those present on the occasion.
