Congress leader Ajay Maken has said that it was brought to the notice of the EC about the offensive language being used by BJP’s ‘star campaigners’, including Home Minister Amit Shah, Jag Pravesh Varma and Anurag Thakur, in the lanes and bylanes of Delhi to create a volatile situation, to communalize and polarize people as it is afraid of its impending defeat in Delhi.
Ajay Maken further said that the Election Commission has sought report from the Chief Electoral Officer of Delhi as notice to the star campaigners can be issued only by the Election Commission, and not by the CEO. He said that the EC has the power to stop the BJP star campaigners and also even cancel the candidature of the BJP candidates.
Delhi Congress President Subhash Chopra said that it was the Congress Government which made Delhi a world class city during its 15-year rule. He said that the BJP leaders through offensive speeches and advertisements were trying to create tension and malign the Congress party, which was brought to the notice of the Election Commission, as these were in clear violation of the Election Commission’s code of conduct directives.
Chopra said that BJP is rattled by the massive popularity the Congress party is getting in the Delhi Assembly election campaigns, and BJP’s lies and false propaganda will have no impact on Congress’ popularity and prospects in the Assembly elections. He said that the BJP was trying to whip up violence in Delhi through such offensive speeches as it had done against the students and others who protested against the divisive Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
