The Election Commission of India (ECI) has prohibited the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) campaign song for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in 2024. At a press conference in the national capital, MLA Atishi Marlena criticized the ECI’s decision, alleging favoritism.
Marlena accused the poll panel of bias, stating, “While the BJP freely employs agencies like the ED and CBI against opposition figures, the ECI turns a blind eye. However, if someone highlights false arrests during the campaign, the Election Commission takes issue.” She further labeled this as indicative of a dictatorial regime.
Earlier in the day, the Aam Aadmi Party organized a walkathon titled ‘Walk for Kejriwal’ in support of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, currently in jail in connection with the Delhi Excise Policy case. The event, held in Delhi’s CR Park, featured AAP supporters carrying flags bearing Kejriwal’s image alongside the slogan ‘Jail ka jawab vote se.’
Among the participants were AAP ministers Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj. Bharadwaj took a jab at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, suggesting his nervousness. Mocking the BJP, he quipped, “We have set up a washing machine here; if you put any corrupt politician in it, they come out clean.”
