KANPUR : Senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Rajya Sabha MP
Sanjay Singh, on Saturday, said he was confused why jailed Bahujan Samaj Party MLA Mukhtar Ansari was not allowed to vote in the 10th UP
Rajya Sabha elections, when he was allowed to exercise the same right during the Presidential elections last year.
Alleging that the Bharatiya Janata Party had won the RS elections on the basis of money and muscle power, Singh said,
“Hindu and Muslims had become more bitter towards each other, ever since Yogi Adityanath took charge of the state.CM Yogi had made Uttar Pradesh a ‘rogi’ (ill) in the last one year.”
Addressing media in the city on Saturday, Singh alleged that the
Election Commission of India had acted acting like an agent of BJP during the RS polls and its officials (EC) had declared invalid votes as valid to benefit the party.
He cited the example of Kanpur
Nagar Nigam elections, conducted last year, wherein he claimed that when voters were pressing the EVM button to vote for BSP, the vote was getting transferred to BJP candidate.
