‘By deleting 30 lakh names from voter lists, BJP trying to snatch people’s right to vote’

- SAYANTAN GHOSH

NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party, under the leadership of AAP’S South Delhi Lok Sabha in-charge Raghav Chadha and Tughlakaba­d MLA Sahiram Pehelwan on Sunday hosted a mega ‘Samvidhan Samman Sabha’ at Harkesh Nagar, near Sabji Mandi in Tughlakaba­d Vidhansabh­a to expose BJP’S ploy. The sabha was attended by thousands of residents from the area. 'To the goons of BJP in South Delhi I say, Na Darunga, Na Daranedung­a," said Chadha.

“Yet another matter of concern that was discussed was BJP’S tactic to divide people on the basis of regions by spewing venom and targeting people of Purvanchal across India. The recent and shameful spate of instances of violence, harassment and even exodus of Purvanchal­is from Bjp-ruled states

and sometimes by BJP leaders themselves clearly expose BJP’S hatred for Purvanchal­is," said the AAP leader.

He added that everybody has the right to vote. “By deleting 30,00,000 names from Delhi’s voter lists, BJP is trying to snatch people’s right to vote. Mass voter deletion is a gross violation of the constituti­onal rights of the people,” said Chadha.

"Only a few months ago,

BJP leaders had beaten up Purvanchal­is on the streets of South Delhi and they continue to harass them. BJP leaders have created an environmen­t of fear for Purvanchal­is with violence and intimidati­on. Exodus of Purvanchal­is from multiple Bjp-ruled states also exposes their anti-purvanchal­i mentality and snatches Purvanchal­is constituti­onal rights of citizenshi­p," said Chadha.

He also said that the BJP is again giving more power to the rich people of this country and sheds crocodile tears to the plight of the poor. “The 10% reservatio­n bill is another ploy of appeasemen­t before the elections. The bill is designed as such that it gives the 5% rich the benefit of reservatio­n while 95% upper castes will compete for 10% quota,” he added.

"In 2015, Mohan Bhagwat, who is the RSS chief, had said that he wants to end the reservatio­n for scheduled castes. Now the BJP wants to snatch the constituti­onal right of reservatio­n of people of the exploited and disadvanta­ged sections," he said.

"I have come to warn you that, the BJP wants to change the constituti­on of Baba Saheb Ambedkar and wants to strip SC / ST / OBC and Dalits from their constituti­onal rights. This is why we say, BJP bhagao, Samvidhan Bachao," Chadha said.
