‘Saam, Daam, Dand, Bhed …’: Sisodia Poll Plan Remarks Trigger Ro; BJP goes to EC. Bharat News
Chandigarh: Opposition parties in Punjab have urged the Election Commission to take action against AAP and his Punjab in-charge, Manish Sisodia on a social media video, where he allegedly tells the party employees to resort to “Saam, DAAM, Dand, Ladai, Ladai, Jhagda” to win the AAP 2027 assembly. Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar has written to the Chief Election Commissioner to register an FIR against Sisodia, disqualified him from future elections and stopped him from giving speeches. The Shiromani Akali Dal has demanded that AAP be stopped from contesting elections in Punjab. However, the AAP leadership states that Sisodia’s words have been excluded from the context and the clip is being used to present their speech incorrectly. The video is from Sisodia from a speech in the AAP Women’s Wing Leadership Training Program in Mohali on 13 August. “2027 Chunav Jeetwen’s Li Sam, Dam, Dand, Wolf, Saach, Jhoot, Question-Answer, Ladai-Jhagada, Joe Karna Padega Karenet. Taiyar. We are doing. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and AAP Punjab President Aman Arora were present during Sisodia’s speech, and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal almost addressed the event. An AAP politician told TOI that Sisodia was trying to communicate that “brief, the video of one-minute does not express the full meaning or the entire thought process.” “The irony is that the theme of the training program was to prepare party workers to compete with very false propaganda that is now spreading through this clip. The address was part of an internal party meeting and not Livestream,” he said, “someone recorded the video and edited the clip out of the context.” The video has boiled the politics of Punjab, however. Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar accused Sisodia of openly advocating corrupt and violent practices. On Saturday, he wrote to the CEC demanding an FIR against Sisodia, “his words clearly revealed the intention of AAP’s intention to weaken the democratic process”. His letter claims, “These statements are an open entry for adopting corrupt practices, intimidating voters, spreading enmity and harassing public order in the state, threatening Punjab’s peace, development and prosperity.” Unhappy President Sukhbir Singh Badal shared a clip on social media, and urged EC “strong information of highly provocative statements of Cyssodia and cancellation of his bail.” AAP’s cat has finally been dropped out of the bag. The mask has been removed from their face. In order to remain in power in Punjab in 2027, AAP’s deception, lies, false promises, and cheap strategy-including riots, violence and money-everyone has been shamelessly and openly accepted by the bad leader, Manish Sisodia. “ “In view of this Brezen entry, AAP should be excluded in Punjab to protect this sensitive border state from the repetition of dangerous past. I urge strict and quick legal action against their (Sisodia) for the bloodshed of the fraternity in Punjab, urged the sad President. State Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Waring made an excavation in Sisodia to “reveal his intentions and expose his designs”. “Sisodia is badly wrong about Punjab and Punjabis. If he believes that AAP can win by resorting to the strategy mentioned in his speech, he is living in a fool’s heaven. You can win Punjabis with folded hands as you did in 2022 which you did in 2022.
