NEW DELHI: “What Gyanu has actually done nationwide,” CJP spokesperson Saurav Das alleged that the Election Commission under CEC Gyanesh Kumar had deleted the names of 908 out of 909 voters in the Bela Estate settlement in Delhi’s Chandni Chowk constituency during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR).Saurav Das posted on X, “See how Gyanesh Kumar’s Election Commission ensured that only ONE out of 909 persons in this Delhi settlement survive the SIR.”“This is the Bela Estate settlement in Delhi’s Chandni Chowk constituency where 908 out of 909 voters have been deleted during the SIR in Delhi.” Das said.“This is only a small sample of what Gyanu has actually done NATIONWIDE, against the people of India, all in the service of ONE political party,” he added.“13+ crore voters have been deleted from the voters list across India. 98 crore eligible voters existed in 2024. The biggest disenfranchisement exercise in the world, under Gyanu, at the behest of Modi and Shah!,” Das said.‘Now these people and the young generation will ensure Gyanu’s accountability starting October 10th,” Das said.Earlier CJP leader Abhijeet Dipke accused the BJP-led central government of using the SIR exercise to undermine voting rights and alleged that the Maharashtra Police were trying to prevent CJP activists from attending the party’s proposed October 10 protest at Jantar Mantar.At a press conference on Tuesday, Dipke said, “One Nation, One Election is just a slogan. The actual intention of the ruling dispensation is to push the country toward ‘one nation, one political party’.”Alleging that the “true objective” behind one nation, one election was to “snatch away the voting rights guaranteed to citizens by Dr B R Ambedkar,” Dipke said “this is not about one party or ideology, it is a fight for the survival of Indian democracy.”He had also accused Chandrapur police of serving notices to CJP workers and asking them not to attend the October 10 protest.“I have said multiple times that the Maharashtra Police is the best police force in the country, and the Delhi Police should learn from them. But it is heart-breaking that the Chandrapur police served notices to CJP workers, asking them not to participate in the protest at Jantar Mantar. They also asked CJP workers about the source of funds for travelling to Jantar Mantar,” he said.“The police stated (in the notice) that the agitation is going to be “violent”. How do the police know so early that the agitation would be violent? Have they planned anything in advance?” he asked.Dipke also targeted Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis over the alleged police action.”Why Devendra Fadnavis is trying to be UP CM Yogi Adityanath 2.0? He should know about the legacy of Maharashtra. He should not disrespect and misuse the Maharashtra Police for political ambitions. Instead of harassing our workers, they should arrest me…If they want they should put me behind the bars and charge me with UAPA, NSA. They should not harass our workers,” he said.Dipke had said the CJP would continue its agitation and reiterated that the entire country would become Jantar Mantar if Gyanesh Kumar was not removed as CEC.“We have three demands. First is the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar, along with that, he should be booked under criminal charges and the SIR should be stopped. The last demand is that the appointment of Election Commissioner should be done independently and neutrally,” Dipke said, adding that the EC should not be merely the “choice of Amit Shah and Narendra Modi.”
