New Delhi (Gurpreet Singh): The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has extended its support to the nationwide movement against ‘Vote-Chori’ (vote theft), with National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. During his 3-day visit to Goa on Wednesday, he stated that the entire country was now united in demanding the CEC’s resignation.
Referring to the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR), the AAP Chief revealed that genuine voters were being deleted from electoral rolls while fake voters were being added, and that elections were being won through this process. He emphasised these developments had made a mockery of democracy and reiterated that Gyanesh Kumar must resign.
During a media interaction, AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal stated, “I am in Goa for the next 3 days and have several meetings lined up with different people and party workers. But I want to say that the way there is a demand at the national level for CEC Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation, the entire country is now coming together for it.”
The AAP Chief asserted, “Over the past few years, it is now coming to light that whatever elections PM Modi has won were won only and only by getting genuine voters’ names deleted from the electoral rolls and adding fake voters through SIR. This is absolutely wrong and against democracy. They have, in a way, made a mockery of democracy. Therefore, we support this demand, and Gyanesh Kumar should resign immediately.”
