Shivpal Accuses BJP of Power Misuse; Criticizes EC’s Silence
Shivpal Singh Yadav, the national general secretary of the Samajwadi Party (SP), has made significant allegations against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) regarding their electoral strategies. Speaking at a recent event in Etawah, Yadav called for active booth-level campaigning among party members.
Shivpal’s Call for Action
During his address at the District Panchayat auditorium, Yadav urged party workers to engage directly with the community. He emphasized that social media posts alone would not suffice to win votes. Instead, he advocated for hard work at the grassroots level to ensure proper voter registration.
BJP Accusations
Shivpal accused the BJP of initiating village-to-village campaigns months prior to the elections, intending to sway voters. He claimed that young individuals studying in Delhi were financially lured, and voters were transported in packed Vande Bharat trains. Despite these alleged tactics, he voiced frustration that the Election Commission has remained silent.
The Threat to Democracy
Yadav criticized the BJP’s governance, stating that it was founded on dishonesty. He expressed concern that government officials are succumbing to pressures of power, which he views as a significant danger to democracy. He drew parallels between the current BJP administration and the British East India Company, claiming that national assets are being exploited under the guise of contracts.
Economic Strain and Corruption
- Traders burdened by heavy GST.
- Corruption prevalent in all government departments.
- BJP-RSS reportedly collected large funds before elections to influence voters.
A Call for Revolution
Yadav remarked, “Gandhiji had driven out the British. Now a new revolution will rise to free the country from the BJP.” He invoked Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, who granted the right to vote, emphasizing that voters possess the power to shape governance.
Final Appeals to Workers
He concluded with a plea for increased vigilance at polling booths, asserting that it is essential to protect the people’s votes. “The time for empty talk is over—only hard work will bring victory,” he stated, reinforcing the importance of grassroots activism for the upcoming elections.
Shivpal’s message was clear: the next election goes beyond merely changing government—it is about safeguarding democracy and upholding the Constitution.
