Truckload of signed forms dispatched to Delhi
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh-
Punjab Congress today dispatched over 26 lakh signed forms against the vote theft under the campaign ‘vote chor, gaddi chhor’ launched by the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi.The truck carrying 26,30,845 signed forms was flagged off by senior party leaders including Ravinder Dalvi, Vijay Inder Singla, Randeep Nabha, Pargat Singh and Kuljit Nagra from the PCC headquarters here today.
The signature campaign in Punjab was launched under the leadership of the PCC president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring over a month ago.
Briefing reporters, the Congress leaders said that there was overwhelming response from the party cadres in Punjab against the ‘vote theft’ resorted to by the Bharatiya Janata Party government in connivance with the Election Commission of India.
The Congress leaders said that the response was far too beyond their targets and expectations. They said, thanks to Rahul Gandhi exposing the government and the ECI, every Indian was now aware of how the BJP was manipulating the elections by fake and bogus votes and also deleting the names of those whom it considers not voting for the BJP.
Senior leader and AICC Joint Treasurer, Vijay Inder Singla referred to massive addition of votes in Maharashtra within a span of six months that completely turned the election results upside down from the parliamentary to the assembly elections.
Singla said, recent explosive revelations made by Rahul Gandhi about Haryana had completely exposed the BJP and it was left defenceless and dumbfounded. He pointed out, the BJP or the Election Commission of India had no convincing answers or explanation to the revelations made by Rahul Gandhi.
The senior Congress leader said that the current signature campaign had also helped create awareness among the people of Punjab against possible voter theft and manipulation in Punjab.
He announced that the signature campaign will be followed up by the awareness campaigns to ensure that no bogus voter is allowed to be included and no genuine voter is deleted from the electoral rolls in Punjab.
