A delegation from the Punjab Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), led by state President Kewal Singh Dhillon, is scheduled to meet the Governor of Punjab on Saturday. They plan to submit a memorandum highlighting alleged irregularities and misuse of official machinery during the Abohar Municipal Corporation mayoral polls. The party expresses concerns about the state government’s conduct and seeks transparency and adherence to democratic norms.
The BJP and Congress have raised concerns following the Aam Aadmi Party’s victory in the Abohar Municipal Corporation and the Morinda Municipal Council. Both opposition parties allege foul play, citing strong-arm tactics and misuse of power by government officials. The BJP, despite being the largest party in Abohar with 28 councillors, questions the transparency of the election process.
Amit Malviya, BJP’s National Information and Technology Department in-charge, criticized the lack of response to the alleged irregularities in the AAP-led election. He highlighted issues such as the unexplained postponement of the election, absence of video recording during ballot counting, and claims of result announcement without transparent verification. Malviya emphasized the need for consistent democratic standards regardless of political affiliations, calling for accountability and transparency in the electoral process.
