Uttarakhand: On the first day of the session, opposition created a ruckus over panchayat elections, Congress raised questions on law and order

Before the start of the assembly session in Bhararisain, Gairsain, the summer capital of Uttarakhand, the Congress was seen in a tough mood. With the banner and slogans of “Vote Chor Gaddi Chhod”, the Congress appeared in the mood for a fight to the finish over the alleged chaos in the panchayat elections.

Just as it was expected, the atmosphere of the assembly premises was seen before the start of the monsoon session. All the Congress MLAs arrived together, raising slogans of “Vote Chor Gaddi Chhod” in their hands and protesting against the government, making many serious allegations.

Allegation of strangling democracy on BJP: In fact, all the Congress MLAs had reached the assembly building located in Bhararisain together under a complete strategy. Talking to ETV Bharat, Leader of Opposition Yashpal Arya said that the way the Bharatiya Janata Party has worked to strangle democracy, a living example of it was seen in Nainital district, where the BJP’s rule has been exposed.

Votes were looted in Nainital: Leader of Opposition Yashpal Arya said that not only votes were stolen but votes were looted in Nainital on the strength of guns and swords. The government did not even take cognizance of this, but the Nainital High Court itself took cognizance of it.

Opposition demanded the dismissal of the government: He said that today the way the entire opposition is protesting in one voice outside the House against the law and order situation in the Panchayat elections, in the same way, inside the House too, under Rule 310, the opposition will unite and demand the dismissal of the government. Along with this, action will be demanded against the Nainital DM and SP.

Demand for the resignation of the Chief Minister: Apart from this, senior Congress leader Pritam Singh said that just as vote theft is a national issue in the whole country at this time, similarly votes have been looted in Uttarakhand as well. He said that regarding vote theft in the whole country, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is trying to tell the whole country with evidence that how BJP is number one in vote theft. Now a living example of this was seen in Uttarakhand as well. Whether it is about reservation in panchayat elections or the chaos in Nainital district, if the government has even a little shame today, the Chief Minister should resign.

The government took action against the victims in Nainital: Congress woman MLA Anupama Rawat said that the Bharatiya Janata Party is bent on strangling democracy today. People are losing faith in the democratic system of the country. She said that the Nainital incident is the most living example of this. In Nainital, instead of taking action against the accused, the government has taken action against the victims and opposition leaders and filed a case against them.

The Leader of Opposition and Congress MLAs were manhandled: Haldwani MLA Sumit Hridayesh, who witnessed the incident in Nainital, said that the extent to which the hooliganism of the Bharatiya Janata Party has increased in the state can be gauged from the fact that the Leader of Opposition and Congress MLAs were manhandled and the government did not care.

Congress’s allegations on Nainital District Magistrate and SSP: Apart from this, Sumit Hridayesh says that the District Magistrate and SSP of Nainital district should be made the Mandal President of BJP. The badges on their shoulders should be put with the BJP’s lotus flower. He said that the elections in which this rigging has happened should be held again.

Sumit Hridayesh says that he has had a historical experience in Haldwani and Nainital not only politically but also socially. During the UP era, it was heard that booth capturing happens, but today open loot is being seen in the Bharatiya Janata Party government. This has been seen under the nose of the High Court. He said that today Congress is in no mood to make any concessions and from the House to the road, Congress will destroy the government brick by brick.
