BJP plans ‘Save Democracy, Eradicate Anarchy’ campaign starting Nov. 9

BJP MLA Sunil Kumar accuses the Congress of misleading people by selectively questioning the credibility of EVMs, raising objections to SIR

BJP plans ‘Save Democracy, Eradicate Anarchy’ campaign starting Nov. 9

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has unveiled a new campaign aimed at safeguarding democracy and combating anarchy, set to commence on November 9. BJP MLA V. Sunil Kumar has accused the Congress party of misleading the public by questioning the credibility of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and opposing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, claiming the Election Commission is operating within legal parameters while the Congress strays beyond its constitutional limits.

The State-wide youth outreach campaign, titled "Prajaprabhutva ulisi, aarajakathe alisi" (Save Democracy, Eradicate Anarchy), will span five days, reaching out to 500 locations and engaging with individuals under 30, including students from approximately 100 colleges. BJP MP Tejasvi Surya will inaugurate the campaign in Hubballi, with BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra spearheading a program in Bengaluru.

Kumar requested a fair and transparent investigation into a sting operation, emphasizing that elections ought to be determined by the electorate's mandate rather than illicit methods. He also questioned the speed of the probe and demanded transparency in the investigation and its outcomes. Kumar further criticized the State government for setting conditions that hinder distressed farmers from obtaining drought relief compensation of ₹2,500 and delayed milk subsidies since June, warning that a price hike could further strain consumers.
