The ruling get together leaders reacted strongly after Mann tweeted concerning the arrival of the EC crew at his Delhi residence to conduct searches following a criticism alleging “cash distribution”.
“Today, a team from the Election Commission along with Delhi Police reached my house Kapurthala House in Delhi to conduct a raid. BJP is openly distributing money in Delhi, but the Delhi Police and Election Commission are turning a blind eye. No action is being taken against them. In a way, Delhi Police and Election Commission are defaming Punjabis at BJP’s behest. This is highly condemnable,” he posted on X.
AAP’s Punjab president Aman Arora stated that BJP is afraid of dropping in Delhi and is making an attempt to spoil the election ambiance. He alleged that BJP chief Pravesh Verma is repeatedly distributing cash, however the EC has not taken any motion in opposition to him. Arora stated that raids have been carried out on AAP leaders’ properties previously, however nothing was discovered. “The raid on the Punjab CM’s residence in Delhi is the next step in BJP’s vendetta against Punjab and Punjabis,” he wrote on X.
Finance minister Harpal Singh Cheema stated that the raid on the chief minister’s residence in collaboration with Delhi Police is very condemnable. “Mann is an elected chief minister, and such actions reek of dirty politics. The Election Commission should first take notice of some BJP leaders who are openly distributing money to the voters before conducting such raids,” he alleged.
