Identify, ensure removal of fake votes, AAP nominee asks booth in-charges

Claiming that there were a significant number of fake voters in the constituency, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora, the AAP candidate for the Ludhiana (West) bypoll, directed party booth in-charges to identify and report such bogus votes for their removal.

During a meeting, he urged them to personally connect with every voter by conducting a door-to-door outreach programme. He asked them to ensure that all eligible voters were registered by assisting those who were not listed on the electoral roll become voters. He urged them to effectively communicate the party’s policies, programmes and his achievements to the electorate in Ludhiana (West) Assembly constituency.

Besides, he said, youth, especially students of colleges, universities and other educational institutions, should be encouraged to exercise their right to franchise.

Arora, who is contesting an election for the first time, exuded confidence that voters would repose their trust in him, “given the extensive development work he has undertaken”.

Punjab Ministers Dr Balbir Singh, Tarunpreet Singh Sond, Hardeep Singh Mundian and Harbhajan Singh ETO, Punjab CM’s OSD Rajbir Singh Ghuman and Ludhiana Improvement Trust Chairman Tarsem Singh Bhinder also addressed party men.

Meanwhile, addressing a public gathering at Patel Nagar, he assured people that if elected, he would further accelerate the pace of development across the city.

Listing various projects completed under his leadership, Arora reiterated his focus on ensuring smooth vehicular movement to reduce accidents.
