Ludhiana/Chandigarh:BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh today demanded that the Election Commission of India immediately ban election campaigning by AAP leaders who are facing criminal charges.Taking strong exception to the campaigning being conducted by Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, the BJP demanded that they be prohibited from entering the Ludhiana East Assembly constituency.
Chugh said Kejriwal has been plotting a backdoor entry into the Rajya Sabha from Punjab, and his dubious political games are a grave insult to the people of Punjab.Demanding immediate intervention by the ECI, Chugh reiterated that AAP leaders facing serious criminal allegations should be barred from campaigning in the constituency.
Chugh also campaigned across various wards of the constituency, appealing to voters to strengthen Prime Minister Modi’s vision for Punjab, particularly for the welfare of farmers.He further urged the Ludhiana administration not to succumb to the pressure exerted by individuals like Kejriwal, who are under trial for corruption-related charges in Delhi.
