Lucknow: A serious question arises over the role of police administration in the Uttar Pradesh by-elections. In which Aam Aadmi Party MP and UP leader Sanjay Singh fiercely attacked the Yogi government and the Election Commission and said that “the terrible face of democracy is visible in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly by-elections, The Electoral Commission is in a difficult situation.” coma”.
Sanjay Singh said the incident of Kakrauli police station SHO Rajeev Sharma threatening voters with a revolver in the Meerapur assembly by-election or the kind of incidents that have come to light in the nine seats of the state, is not only a contempt for democratic processes, but also goes completely against the Constitution and the electoral process. He said that the BJP is trying to win the elections by gunfire, which is very unfortunate.
He said that such an incident constitutes a dangerous example for democracy, where power and the police are misused to influence the electoral process. When the role of electoral officials and the police administration should be impartial, such threats clearly show that a part of the administration is working in favor of a particular political party. This is a terrible situation for democracy.
Making a strong comment on the Election Commission, he said that the Election Commission, which is responsible for ensuring free and fair elections, is absolutely silent on this matter. The negative role and inaction of the Electoral Commission shows that deep doubts are being raised about the transparency of the electoral process. Such acts not only kill democracy but also break public trust.
The Aam Aadmi Party, which has always been in favor of fairness and transparency in the electoral process, strongly condemns this incident and demands immediate intervention of the Election Commission. Furthermore, strict action must be taken against the guilty officials in this case in order to protect the basic spirit of democracy and the rights of the public.
