Atishi Accuses Election Commission of Banning Aam Aadmi Party’s Lok Sabha Campaign Song

At a press conference held in the national capital today, Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi alleged that the Election Commission has prohibited the party’s campaign song, ‘Jail ka jawab vote se,’ citing its portrayal of the ruling party and agencies in a negative light. Atishi criticized the move, stating that such actions are characteristic of dictatorial regimes where the opposition is silenced and campaigning is hindered. She emphasized that this marks a unprecedented occurrence in Indian history, with the Election Commission banning a party’s campaign song for the first time. Atishi also drew attention to what she perceives as the Election Commission’s leniency towards violations of the model code of conduct by the BJP.
