Congress protests in Jammu
Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Dec 14: Senior Congress leader and DDC Suchetgarh Taranjit Singh Tony today led a massive “Vote Chori” protest march against the BJP in Trikuta Nagar, Ward No. 52, accusing the Modi led Government and BJP of destroying democracy, hijacking institutions, and stealing the people’s mandate.
Addressing the rally, Tony said the entire election process has been reduced to a mockery, with every step raising suspicion. He alleged that the Election Commission of India has surrendered before the BJP, turning constitutional bodies into political tools.
Naming Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, Tony warned that no power can protect them forever.
“The BJP may shield them today, but tomorrow they will be forced to answer how they conspired to rob Indians of their voting rights,” he thundered.
Issuing an open challenge, Tony said, “I dare the BJP to hold elections on ballot paper. They know very well that without `vote chori’, they cannot win anywhere in the country.”
Referring to the Bihar polls, the Congress leader alleged that Rs 10,000 was transferred to women voters during the Model Code of Conduct, yet the Election Commission failed to act. “If this is not vote chori, then what is it? In the fight between Satya and Jhoot, the Election Commission has chosen to stand with the BJP,” he alleged.
Reiterating Congress’ historical commitment to democracy, Tony said the party draws inspiration from the sacrifices of Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, and the present leadership of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, who have taken the responsibility of defending the Constitution in these challenging times.
The rally witnessed overwhelming participation from party workers, youth leaders, and local residents. Prominent leaders present included Banarsi Lal, Narinder Sharma ‘Happy’ (Youth Leader), Kuldip Singh Manhas, Capt Tarsem Lal, Capt Ashok Kumar, Ward Pradhan Daya Ram, Punch Lajju Ram, Dr Ajit Kumar and others.
