We must protest against the Election Commission on election frauds: DCM

Bengaluru, July 31: Emphasizing the need to create awareness among the people about election frauds and inaction by the Election Commission, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar today called on the people to protect their voting rights.

Speaking at a meeting organised to discuss preparations for the August 5th rally against election frauds, he said, “Voters list, voting booths and voting are being discussed in the context of election frauds. We had done our own research on the election fraud. The BJP had misused the election process through organisations such as Chilume. Due to this, there were differences in the results in Bengaluru.”

“After the last assembly elections, Mahadevapura Congress candidate Nagesh’s son met me and gave me some crucial information. We investigated it and found discrepancies but could not act on it as it was too late already. Our MP candidate Mansoor Ali Khan also had done his own research. We have sent a report on this to Delhi. There are discussions on election fraud across the country and we need to create awareness about it among the public,” he said.

“The AICC General Secretary will hold a meeting at the KPCC office with district presidents, vice presidents, general secretaries, MLAs, MPs, MLCs and various office bearers. He will assign party responsibilities to the party leaders. We will investigate the election fraud in Karnataka,” he said.
