New Delhi: Some major opposition parties on Tuesday welcomed the overturning of the Chandigarh Mayor election results by the Supreme Court, saying the country’s highest court has saved democracy from the jaws of the autocratic Bharatiya Janata Party. The Supreme Court on Tuesday overturned the results of the Chandigarh mayoral election and declared Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-Congress alliance’s defeated candidate Kuldeep Kumar as the new mayor of the city. The court also ordered the prosecution of Returning Officer Anil Masih for misconduct, after finding serious lapses in the conduct of the January 30 elections.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and former President Rahul Gandhi targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue of election rigging and said that Returning Officer Anil Masih was just a pawn. “The Supreme Court has saved democracy from the jaws of the autocratic BJP,” Kharge posted on social media platform X. BJP resorts to electoral manipulation. The attempt to cause institutional damage in the Chandigarh Mayor elections is just a small part of Modi-Shah’s devious conspiracy to crush democracy.
All Indian citizens should collectively fight this attack on our Constitution, he claimed. Never forget. Our democracy will be at the crossroads in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections! Rahul Gandhi alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is behind whatever happened in the Chandigarh mayor’s election.
He posted on X, Christ is just a pawn in the BJP’s conspiracy to murder democracy, Modi’s face is behind it. Congress Organization General Secretary KC Venugopal also posted on ‘X’ saying, “The decision of the Honorable Supreme Court on the election of Chandigarh Mayor will prove to be very helpful in saving Indian democracy. The entire election process was a complete sham, which has been duly exposed by this historic judgment.
Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh posted on X, this gentleman who goes abroad and talks big about the Mother of Democracy, his pawn has murdered democracy in front of the camera. Today the Supreme Court has stopped the Murder of Democracy in India. Now the public will stop Prime Minister Modi’s hunger for power.
Aam Aadmi Party convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that the Supreme Court’s decision in the Chandigarh mayor election case is a big victory for the opposition alliance India. AAP spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj said at a press conference here that the court order has exposed the BJP and shown it a mirror. He said that if BJP leaders have even a little shame left then they should apologize to the country.
