Imphal, March 07 2022:
The elections are all about respecting the people's mandate.
However, BJP's actions in the recent elections are mainly to win the polls by hook or crook, which is not supposed to be done in a republic, said Shiv Sena Manipur president M Tombi.
Addressing a press meet at the party's Babupa-ra office here on Monday, Tombi said that it was embarrassing to witness BJP doing unthinkable things to ensure voters only vote for the party.
Of the 57 polling stations in Churachandpur, complaints were raised for 23 polling stations of which polling stations 57/20, 57/31, 57/34, 57/39 and 57/49 went to re-poll.
There is nothing wrong for a SoO group to give moral support to BJP but it is wrong to show support by tampering with the EVMs to ensure the latter's victory, he remarked.
Stating that Shiv Sena will bring up the matter for tabling in the parliament, Tombi observed that the people are terrified of the BJP government at the centre and in the state, as any dissent against the party is awarded with jail time.
However, no action is taken when one of their own makes such remarks.
Although the elections are about respecting the people s mandate, BJP's actions are about holding on to the power by hook or crook, which is not supposed to happen in a republic, he added.
