In response to the Election Commission’s (EC) directive against political parties enrolling voters for post-election schemes, the Congress has expressed its dissatisfaction and raised questions about the BJP’s similar tactic in its successful Chhattisgarh Assembly election campaign. The EC directive was prompted by a complaint from the BJP, alleging the Congress’s “Ghar Ghar Guarantee” outreach program as “corrupt practice amounting to bribery”. Congress spokesperson Gurdeep Singh Sappal responded by highlighting the BJP’s use of “Mahtari Vandan Yojana” in Chhattisgarh, where BJP workers had enrolled potential beneficiaries ahead of last year’s polls, and appealed to the EC for consistency in its approach.
