Amid voting for the sixth phase of the Lok Sabha polls, Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh on Saturday appealed to the people to vote for “strengthening the Constitution and the end of dictatorship.”
Apart from all seven seats in Delhi, voting is underway in eight constituencies in Bihar, all 10 in Haryana, one in Jammu and Kashmir, four in Jharkhand, six in Odisha, 14 in Uttar Pradesh, and eight seats in West Bengal. A total of 889 candidates are in the fray.
The seven parliamentary seats in the national capital are Northeast Delhi, South Delhi, New Delhi, East Delhi, Northwest Delhi, Chandni Chowk and West Delhi.
“Elections are a festival of democracy and India is the biggest democracy in the world. I appeal to the people of India, with folded hands, to vote for strengthening the Constitution of India, for protecting democracy, and for the end of dictatorship. Today, we all know that when there is a political, democratic system, everything is governed through Parliament and Legislative Assemblies. Good representatives will go there, work for schools, hospitals, electricity and water,” Singh told ANI.
“INDIA bloc will get more than 300 seats,” he asserted.
Earlier, the AAP alleged that the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi VK Saxena, held a meeting with Delhi Police to slow down the voting process in areas which are strongholds of the INDIA bloc.
AAP leader Atishi after casting her vote said, “We have received official information that last evening, LG had called a meeting of Delhi Police officials and instructions were given to Delhi Police that in all the areas which are strongholds of the INDIA alliance, voting should be slowed down in those areas. If this happens then it will be a violation of free and fair elections. So we hope that the Election Commission will take cognizance of this.”
Responding to the AAP’s allegations, Delhi LG Saxena said, “I have taken a stern view of this unwarranted & false statement on the eve of election against a constitutional authority by a Minister, endorsed by you.”
“This impropriety is unacceptable & these typically absurd & concocted claims are a deliberate design to subvert democracy by misleading voters. Strict action will be taken,” VK Saxena said further in the post.
The results will be declared on June 4.
