Opposition parties’ joint presidential candidate Yashwant Sinha on Thursday accused the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of indulging in horse-trading in elections to the country’s highest constitutional post and demanded a probe. He claimed that the saffron party is carrying out ‘Operation Kamal’, under which it is allegedly offering “large sums of money to non-BJP MLAs” to ensure the victory of its presidential candidate as it has to be free and fair. There is a fear of consequences. Election.
Lotus or lotus is the election symbol of BJP. In recent years, opposition parties have been accusing the BJP of carrying out ‘Operation Kamal’ to gain power in states where it does not rule. The opposition uses the term to describe the alleged attempts of the saffron party to defect to form the government.
Speaking to reporters after meeting Congress MLAs, Sinha said, “This morning I read with great sadness the news published in a leading newspaper of Madhya Pradesh, which was titled- ‘BJP eyes on 28 tribal MLAs of Congress, Preparation for cross voting.
“I have also heard from credible sources that large sums of money are being offered to non-BJP MLAs to vote for the party’s candidate in the presidential election,” he alleged. This clearly means that ‘Operation Kamal’ is now being invoked even in the election to the highest office of the republic, Sinha said, adding that it also shows that the BJP has become intimidated by the outcome of a free and fair presidential election. “When I came here I found clear evidence. (Congress tribal MLA and former MP minister) Umang Singhar, in a meeting
ing, explicitly said of putting pressure on them. What kind of politics is going on in the country…forget the presidential election.”
They have been saying from the beginning that Yashwant Sinha is the loser candidate. They are saying that we are winning the presidential election with a big margin. So why are you worried? You are keeping an eye on 28 tribal MLAs of Congress and saying that you are going for cross voting. So what I am saying is that the election of the President is not just the election of the President, it is for the future of the country, he added. Election The Secretary General of the Commission and the Rajya Sabha, who is the Returning Officer for the Presidential election, has been appointed to inquire into the alleged corruption practices of the ruling party.
The correct name of “Operation Kamal” is ‘Operation Mal’ (dirt), as it has become synonymous with dirty political corruption by the ruling party. To bring down the state governments.
“Besides Madhya Pradesh, the BJP has used it to oust opposition governments in Karnataka, Goa, Arunachal Pradesh and most recently in Maharashtra. In all this, I hear alarm bells for democracy in India.”
Both are different parties. The BJP led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee and LK Advani did not lose faith by a single vote. In 1999, the Atal government was defeated by one vote. And I regard this as a very principled chapter.. by just one vote. Can you imagine now that the BJP government at the Center or in the states lost by one vote?, he quipped. You can’t even think about it. You will remember that at that time after losing the confidence motion, Vajpayee ji had said, the goods were also for sale in the mandi (market) but we did not buy. Today Umang Singharji talked about shopping. Where has the BJP gone?, he remarked. The ruling BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has named Draupadi Murmu, a tribal leader from Odisha, as its candidate for the presidential election.
