The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday August 20, filed a petition before the Election Commission of India seeking immediate disqualification of Mr Ranjit Singh, BJP MLA from Gokalpur (reserved) assembly constituency from the Delhi assembly.
The AAP petition states that Mr Singh contested the December 2013 assembly elections from a constituency reserved for Scheduled Castes (SC) on a fake certificate procured from Uttar Pradesh (Please find attached a copy of the petition).
A Delhi court had last week directed the Police to lodge an FIR against Mr Singh under various provisions of the Indian Penal Code for having committed the offences of forgery and cheating, after a probe report was submitted in the court.
The AAP has filed the disqualification petition, since it is of the clear view that such an individual can no longer remain a member of the assembly.
Relevant provisions of the Representation of the People Act show that a clear case of disqualification is made out against Mr Singh.
According to the AAP, it is not only a clear and proven case of concealment of facts before the election authorities, but this MLA has also cheated the people of his constituency by having misled them about his origin.
The issue also raises serious questions about the kind of politics in which the BJP is indulging.
What is the BJP stand on the issue ? Will it take action against its MLA who has breached all levels of political decency and has committed a fraud on the weaker sections of the society ?
The last query is will the BJP take action on Ranjit Singh.
There is just no question of taking action.
When a leader has lied on his marital status and another leader on her educational qualification and a third is retained in spite of have murder charges and also made President of the organisation, how can you expect the party to take action.
As Modi said just yesterday, "Sab Chalta Hai"
