BENGALURU: CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke on Thursday invoked Adolf Hitler while attacking the government’s ‘One Nation, One Election’ proposal, alleging that the intention behind the slogan was “one nation one party” and comparing it to Hitler’s political rule. He had to shoot himself,” Dipke said during the protest. Dipke also accused PM Modi and the Election Commission of “murdering democracy and vote theft”, alleging that voter deletions under the SIR were aimed at disenfranchising those opposed to the BJP. He also alleged that CEC Gyanesh Kumar is “acting at the behest of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.”
“Attempts are being made how to destroy institutions of India. One nation, one election is slogan. But the intention is one nation one party. And that intention was of Hitler. Want to ask PM Narendra Modi to see what happen to Hitler. Dipke, YouTuber Dhruv Rathee and actor-activist Prakash Raj participated in the protest, where demonstrators demanded the scrapping of the SIR exercise and the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Protesters from various walks of life, including women and students, gathered at Freedom Park and raised slogans against the SIR exercise and the Election Commission. Prakash Raj demanded that the SIR exercise be scrapped, alleging that it was not merely about deletion of votes but an attack on the dignity and rights of citizens.
