CHANDIGARH, April 1: Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee President Capt Amarinder Singh today asked Ms Rajinder Kaur Bhattal to furnish the details of the donors, who she claims to have donated about Rs 500 crores to the party, so that these could be forwarded to the All India Congress Committee for a through inquiry and investigation.
Rebutting Ms Bhattal’s charges that he was solely responsible for the party’s defeat, he asked her, had it really been so, why she could not manage to get her candidates to win. He also questioned the logic of Ms Bhattal’s allegation that he got his party candidates defeated. He pointed out and asked, “I was the Chief Ministerial candidate myself and each and every seat was precious to me…does she mean to say I did not want to become the Chief Minister?”
Referring to her allegation that he started vendetta against the Akalis and now he was hand in glove with the Akalis, Capt Amarinder remarked, this has only vindicated and reinforced the public belief that who is hand in glove with whom. “Good that she has finally spoken the Akali language publicly thus clearing all the doubts in the minds of people”, he remarked while adding, it has only reinforced public opinion about her relationship with the Akali Dal.
“And when she endorses Akalis allegations against me, she has forgone the moral authority to speak on behalf of the party workers”, he asserted, while asking, “does she mean to say that the Akalis are justified in having registered over 50,000 cases against Congress workers in retaliation to my vendetta against them?”
Undoubtedly the system of electioneering in India, is based on the collection & spending of funds, thus to sling mud on eachother is useless.
Can not it be possible for the Election Commission, to find out some suitable method; keeping in view the most advanced technologies; that the elections can be conducted with the push of botton while sitting at home?
This above refined system of casting votes, shall save the nation from expenditure of tons of funds on elections apart unnecessary creation of chaos across the country.
Let the nation see that when the better senses ought to prevail upon the Election Commission’s Offices in the country—dr.amritgaur
