Badal Dal want Election Commission to scrap recognition of Aam Aadmi Party

August 27, 2016 | By Sikh Siyasat Bureau

Chandigarh: The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today asked the Election Commission of India (ECI) to investigate the alleged violation of electoral laws by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) following statements of some AAP leaders that AAP leaders were amassing money to distribute its party tickets for the 2017 assembly elections in Punjab.

In a statement here, all SAD MPs of Punjab including Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa, Balwinder Singh Bhundur, Harsimrat Kaur Badal, Prem Singh Chandumajra , Naresh Gujral, Ranjit Singh Brahmpura, Sher Singh Ghubaiya urged the Election Commission to verify the disclosures made by former AAP Convenor Suchha Singh Chhottepur against his own party and initiate proceedings to disqualify AAP from politics.

The AAP’s image Punjab received massive setbacks in wake of repeated controversies and inner clashes. Moreover, the inner clash of the Aam Aadmi Party suits the ruling Badal regime and the SAD (Badal) leaves no opportunity to attack the AAP.

Pointing to points raised by former AAP state convenor SAD Badal MPs said that Sucah Singh Chhottepur, who was till yesterday the State Convenor of AAP in Punjab, had disclosed yesterday that each and every party ticket was being sold by AAP. They said Chhottepur had stated that tickets were being sold for money ranging between Rs one to Rs two crore per seat.

“It is in fact when Chhottepur raised his voice against auctioning off party tickets to corrupt officials, criminals and moneybags that the Delhi based high command of AAP started plotting his ouster from the party”, SAD Badal MPs added.

The SAD MPs also announced that they would file a formal complaint against AAP with the Election Commission to ensure firm action is taken against AAP. “We want the ECI to take immediate action against AAP so that a message is sent across to all political parties that criminalisation of politics by such underhand means will not be tolerated at any cost”.
