Speaking on the occasion, H.S. Lucky, President of the Chandigarh Pradesh Congress Committee, said:
“This overwhelming response to our ‘Vote Chor Gaddi Chhod’ campaign reflects the anger and frustration of the people against the BJP’s systematic assault on democracy. The citizens of Chandigarh and the entire nation are aware of how the ruling party has manipulated institutions, suppressed the voice of the opposition, and weakened the very foundation of free and fair elections. The Congress Party stands firmly with the people in this fight to restore the sanctity of the ballot and the spirit of the Constitution. Every signature we have received is a symbol of people’s resistance and a call for justice.”
