“Today, impoverished people’s votes are being bought with meat and alcohol. The BJP is purchasing votes, much like the AAP. Is this election fair? He asked.
“In Patparganj, BJP candidate Ravindra Negi was found to be selling chicken and alcohol. “The evidence within the house is currently being destroyed, but neither @DCPEastDelhi nor @CeodelhiOffice will even conduct an internal investigation,” Chaudhary said in his post.
Ravindra Negi, the BJP candidate, was allegedly discovered selling chicken and alcohol in Patparganj, according to the Indian Youth Congress (IYC), which also took to X.
“BJP and Aam Admi Party, scared of defeat, want to buy votes of people by distributing liquor and chicken,” alleged the IYC.
A Flying Surveillance Team (FST) was sent to the scene for further investigation after the claims. “A complaint was made after FST arrived on the scene. DCP East Delhi said in a post on X that “facts are being verified and necessary action will be taken accordingly.”
To show their presence and dedication to upholding law and order in the region, the East District police conducted a flag march under the direction of Vineet Kumar, Additional DCP-I, East District.

In a post on X, DCP East Delhi stated that the purpose of the flag march, which included Assistant Commissioners of Police, Station House Officers, local police officers, and outside forces, was to send a clear message that the police are dedicated to preventing any unfortunate incidents and upholding peace and security.
