In a flagrant violation of the Model Code of Conduct, R R Bansal, a Samajwadi Party leader from Uttar Pradesh, has been caught openly encouraging people to indulge in electoral malpractices.
In a video that went viral, Bansal is recorded as saying, “Party workers must go to villages, get the voting slips of those who are not voting and cast the votes instead of them. This is the duty of our party workers”.
He was addressing a grassroot level party meet.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
