Supreme Court saved democracy says Aravind Kejriwal on Chandigarh mayoral elections victory

 The Delhi CM also expressed concerns regarding the Lok Sabha elections.

New Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday thanked Supreme Court for saving the democracy but ruling in favour of their candidate in the Chandigarh mayoral elections case.

The top court declared Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Councillor Kuldeep Kumar as the winner of the Chandigarh Mayoral polls.

A bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra quashed Returning Officer Anil Masih’s decision of declaring eight votes invalid and announce BJP candidate Manoj Kumar Sonkar as Chandigarh Mayor on January 30.

The court had physically checked the eight ballots and found they were defaced by Masih to help BJP candidate secure victory despite not having enough numbers.

“Many thanks to the Supreme Court. The way Dictatorship is running in the country, democracy and institutions are being crushed. The decision of the Supreme Court is very important to save democracy…” the Delhi CM said after the top court verdict.

“Chandigarh Mayor Elections proved that they do not win elections, they steal elections. He stole 25% votes in Chandigarh Mayor election. If 90 crore people vote in the Lok Sabha elections, then imagine what a big mess they would be making. They say with confidence that 370 seats are coming, they do not need people’s votes, then they have done something wrong,” Kejriwal further stated.

He also pointed out the alleged poaching attempts and misuse of the Enforcement Directorate by the BJP to topple elected governments.

“First BJP wins by rigging the elections and if they lose the elections then they start breaking the councilors and MLAs. They start throwing wads of notes, put ED behind them and topple the government,” he said.

The Delhi CM termed Chandigarh mayoral elections a first huge victory of the Opposition’s INDIA alliance.

“This is the first and huge victory of INDIA Alliance. Those who say that BJP cannot be defeated, this is a signal to them that BJP can be defeated with unity and strategy,” Kejriwal further added.

In India, Paytm Payments Bank meltdown. When it will back in the market for all financial operations

Son of a schoolteacher from Aligarh district in Uttar Pradesh, Vijay Shekhar Sharma was enamoured by Jack Ma-run Alibaba's focus on smartphones rather than desktop computers, when he built a digital payments company that would let Indians pay for vegetables, pay utility bills or buy cinema tickets using their mobile phones. Mr. Sharma, the poster boy of India's fintech boom, also set out to build an Alipay-like mobile marketplace to go alongside the payments business, allowing businesses to sell goods from matchbox to iPhones online. With fame came a set of controversies for arguably the most high-profile of a wave of Indian tech entrepreneurs. But none like the one now. The current crisis where the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has ordered Paytm Payments Bank to halt most of its business, is an existential one. What was the recent RBI action against Paytm Payments Bank all about? RBI last week ordered Paytm Payments Bank Ltd, a restricted bank that can take deposits but cannor l...
