CHANDIGARH: The Congress today launched the signature campaign against the ‘vote-chori’ (vote theft) as part of the nationwide campaign under which 5 crore signatures will be submitted to the Election Commission of India on October 15. 15 lakh signatures will be submitted from Punjab.
Bhagel said the BJP had been completely exposed after the revelations made by Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi with foolproof evidence. He said, the BJP was feeling so much desperate and frustrated now that one of its spokespersons had openly threatened to shoot him (Gandhi) in the chest.
He also announced that the Punjab Congress will organize a statewide ‘yatra’ against the vote-theft which will pass through all the districts to create awareness among the masses.
Bhagel said that today during a meeting of the PCC, the party strongly condemned the BJP leader for threatening Gandhi and demanded enhanced security for him.
Speaking on the occasion, PCC president Raja Warring said that the party will get, at least, 15 lakh signatures from Punjab till October 10, against the vote-theft.
Referring to the vote theft, he said, had there been fair elections in 2024, the BJP would not have got more than 160 seats.
Speaking on the occasion, Anil Joshi thanked the Congress leadership for providing him a chance to serve the party. He said, under the current circumstances he was of the firm belief that only the Congress can lead Punjab on to the path of progress and development.
