Says undemocratic methodology of delimitation AIMS to muzzle democracy
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, March 15-
Posing serious question marks over the manner the delimitation process is being implemented in the country, the Punjab CM Bhagwant Singh Mann on Saturday said that unfortunately the Union govt led by BJP is trying to eliminate its political opponents through this faulty execution.
Interacting with the journalists on the sidelines of flagging off a batch of 72 teachers to Finland, the CM said that the undemocratic methodology adopted by the Union government raises suspicions about the intent of the BJP and its coterie. He said that tactically the seats of states where BJP and its allies are weak are being reduced whereas the seats in those states where BJP’s divisive agenda is blooming are being enhanced. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that all the like minded parties will join hands against this repression of the Union government to muzzle democracy.
Replying to another query, the Chief Minister said that being a border state a number of forces inimical to the state have been chalking out nefarious designs to disturb hard earned peace of Punjab.
