AAP accuses BJP of circulating fake 'thank you' note to Ansari

VARANASI: Aam Aadmi Party today accused BJP of circulating a 'fake' letter in which Arvind Kejriwal has purportedly thanked local Muslim strongman Mukhtar Ansari's Qaumi Ekta Dal for not contesting Lok Sabha elections.

Kejriwal is said to be thanking Ansari saying Muslim votes would come to AAP after his support and that the party would be able to force the communal forces out of Varanasi.

The controversy erupted after a photo of the letter found its way to the social media.

"BJP people are so afraid of losing Varanasi that they are spreading fake pics of AAP thanking M Ansari for support," AAP posted on its official Twitter account in reaction to the letter being circulated.

Warning of "legal action" for defamation, the party said that the 'fake' letter was written on a different letter-head than its original one.

Qaumi Ekta Dal's Ansari, currently in Agra jail, is an MLA from neighbouring Mau area. He had fought last Lok Sabha elections as a BSP candidate and had lost to BJP's Murli Manohar Joshi by a small margin at that time.

Ansari had earlier said he would contest Lok Sabha elections again this time, but later withdrew his plans.

His party said that Ansari has decided not to contest elections so that the secular votes do not get divided and that they would support the strongest candidate against BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.

Since then, speculations had going around that Ansari was supporting Kejriwal. AAP, however, later clarified that it would not take support of Ansari, who has a rogue image in this area and is facing many criminal cases.

Meanwhile, Kejriwal has been continuing with his 'chaupals' in rural areas of Varanasi, which the party appears to have identified as key areas with minimal support for BJP and Modi.

The Erosion of Democracy: BJP's Stranglehold on Indian Politics

In recent times, India has witnessed a concerning trend of democratic institutions being manipulated and opposition voices being silenced under the leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The use of government agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and Income Tax Department (IT) to target opposition leaders has raised serious questions about the health of democracy in the country. The blatant misuse of these agencies to harass and intimidate political opponents undermines the very foundation of democracy. By incarcerating opposition leaders and subjecting them to legal harassment, the BJP government is effectively crushing dissent and monopolizing power. Such tactics not only weaken the democratic fabric of the nation but also erode public trust in the fairness and impartiality of the legal system. Furthermore, the stranglehold of the BJP government extends to the media, with reports of censorship and suppression becoming incre

Unmasking the Dark Veil of Electoral Bonds: The Lingering Shadow of Black Money in Indian Politics

By S.B. Mazumder In the convoluted saga of political financing in India, electoral bonds emerged as a promising solution, yet they only served to veil the pervasive presence of black money within the corridors of power. Despite assertions by the government that these bonds would bring transparency to political funding, the recent Supreme Court ruling striking them down as unconstitutional shines a stark light on the enduring issue of cash-driven politics. Electoral bonds were envisioned as a tool to sanitize the flow of funds to political parties by allowing donors to contribute ostensibly anonymously. However, this anonymity proved to be a double-edged sword, as it shielded potential quid pro quos between donors and political recipients. While parties were privy to the identities of their benefactors, the public was left in the dark, rendering the entire system vulnerable to manipulation and corruption. The government's promise that electoral bonds would cleanse the system of unac
