BJP is gripped by 'democracy-phobia', says Raghav Chadha

AAP leader Raghav Chadha on Thursday took a jibe on BJP saying that the party is scared of INDIA's triumph. The statement from Chadha has come after the postponement of the Chandigarh Mayor election which was scheduled for January 18.
Taking it to his X handle, Chadha tweeted, “With 20 out of the total 36 votes in its favor, INDIA alliance is poised to win the Chandigarh Mayoral Elections. BJP is all set to lose badly. This has given the BJP sleepless nights and forced its dirty tricks department to work overtime. Result?”

It is to be noted here that the elections for the mayor seat have been postponed as the Presiding Officer Anil Masih falls sick.

Mentioning further in his tweet, Chadha took a jibe saying, “First, the Secretary of Elections falls sick, and now, the Presiding Officer has also fallen sick. All this to adjourn the election. This is a deliberate attempt to postpone elections, and undeniably serves as an evidence that the BJP is, without a doubt, afraid of INDIA alliance.”

He further alleged that “BJP is like a disgruntled child who, upon being called out in gully cricket, takes away the bat and declares an end to the game. Is our democracy so weak that elections will only happen when the BJP is winning, and elections will be adjourned if the BJP is losing?”
