AAP launches ‘Chori ki Shikayat Dein’ campaign against BJP

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday launched its ‘Chori ki Shikayat Dein’ (register complaints of theft) campaign, accusing the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of “stealing votes” in the Delhi Assembly election and cheating people by “not fulfilling” the poll promise.

“We are launching ‘Chori ki Shikayat Dein’ campaign against the Centre. It has now been six months of the BJP’s rule in Delhi, and women voters are feeling cheated. The first theft was of votes. BJP won the Delhi Assembly election by deleting genuine voters’ names and creating fake votes,” alleged AAP Delhi president Saurabh Bharadwaj.

Mr. Bharadwaj alleged that during the election campaign, the BJP “distributed sarees and money” to people in return for their vote.

“BJP made the first promise of giving ₹1,100 per month to women and then promised ₹2,500 per month. They promised LPG cylinders for ₹500. Along with that, they distributed sarees, money, gold chains, shoes and bedsheets. This is how they stole votes,” he said.

The AAP leader said even Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised to transfer ₹2,500 to women’s bank accounts on March 8 if the BJP forms the government in Delhi. “But till now, not a single woman has received this amount. This means the ₹2,500 due to women has been stolen. Women are filing complaints of this ₹ 2,500 theft,” he said.
