The Delhi Bharatiya
Janata Party President Shri Vijay Goel today expressed concern over use of
unfair means by Congress party such as distribution of liquor, cash
and gifts to influence the voters. Shri Goel met Delhi”s
Chief Electoral Officer Shri Vijay Dev yesterday after he was physically
assaulted by Congress goons in Model
Town and apprised him
of his concerns.
There are a number of sensitive polling booths and areas in the
city which could be vulnerable and we have urged the Election Commission to
make adequate arrangements to check any such attempts as BJP is in favour of
free and fair elections.
“However we have strong reasons to suspect that our rivals are
indulging in unfair practices which are not only unethical but also illegal.
Attempts to bribe voters are condemnable and Election Commission should ensure
that no such nefarious designs are successful. The BJP, as a responsible party
is cooperating Election Commission and wherever we come to know about any such
activities, the party activists are informing the authorities concerned.
However, we would urge the authorities to act swiftly.”
Shri Goel further informed that in the case involving attack by
Congress activists in Model
Town on him and BJP
candidate from this seat Shri Ashok Goel yesterday, an FIR has been
registered. This was a well planned physical assault in which vehicles
carrying BJP leaders were damaged.
The Delhi BJP President said that there are enough reasons to
believe that the Congress candidate from the area Kanwar Karan Singh was
the mastermind behind this attack.
Shri Goel reiterated that the BJP will not be deterred by use of
such unfair means by its rivals and it candidates will contest in the true
spirit of democracy. Shri Goel also appealed all Delhi voters to come out and exercise
their right to vote. “Voting is not only our right but it is also our duty
and I am sure that Delhi
will register a record breaking voting percentage and set an example for the
rest of the country,” he added.
