Kejriwal urges citizens to not vote for corrupt, Manoj Tiwari appeals for re-election as 450 voters missing from list

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his family cast their vote at Civil Lines polling booth for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls on Sunday and made an appeal to the citizens to vote wisely and not to vote for corrupt candidates.

On the other hand, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari has alleged that names of as many as 450 voters were missing from the voters list as they were BJP supporters. He added that this was a big conspiracy by the Delhi government and that he will file a complaint against this and will appeal for cancellation of polls and re-election.

Meanwhile, after he casting vote, the Delhi CM made an appeal to people to cast vote in large numbers. He said that garbage was being seen everywhere and that it was an opportunity to clean the national capital. He also urged to vote for the party which has been doing development work and not for the party that hinders the development work.

Pick the honest party to win. Don’t cast your vote for crooked candidates. Vote for decent people rather than those who engage in violence, corruption, or unpleasant language. Delhi’s chief minister added that it was time to clean Delhi in the next five years.

There are 250 wards up for election, which will end at 5:30.

The high-stakes civic elections, which are primarily considered as a three-way race between the BJP, the AAP, and the Congress, will feature around 1.45 crore eligible voters and 1,349 candidates.  

On December 7, the votes will be tallied.

Data from the State Election Commission shows that there are 1,45,05,358 registered voters in Delhi overall, including 78,93,418 men, 66,10,879 women, and 1 061 transgender people. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has 250 wards (MCD).

The Supreme Court today ordered Yoga guru Baba Ramdev to apper in person and address Patanjali Ayurved’s misleading ads in two-weeks time. The Managing Director of Patanjali Ayurved Acharya Balkrishna has also been called to speak.

The SC banned Patanjali Ayurved on February 27 from running advertisements for its medications, which treat a variety of conditions, including obesity, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and high blood pressure. It also served a notice of contempt to the Managing Director of Patanjali Ayurved Acharya Balkrishna and warned them not to criticise any medical system in the media.

Additionally, the court criticised the Centre for doing nothing and claimed that they were just sitting with their eyes closed.

The Indian Medical Association (IMA) submitted a petition alleging that Patanjali Ayurved had distributed deceptive marketing, which resulted to the issuance of the contempt notice.

A panel of Justices Hima Kohli and Amanullah noted on Tuesday that, in spite of earlier orders, no answer had been filed in the case.

In addition to requesting that Baba Ramdev appear in person, the court sent out a notice in which it questioned why he shouldn’t face charges of contempt of court.

Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi, who was representing Baba Ramdev, was questioned by the court during the hearing about why their response to the contempt notice had not yet been submitted.

The court said, they will now request his client, Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna, to show up in court. The bench said, both are required to appear in court.

The court announced that the case hearing would not be postponed. The Union Ayush Ministry received criticism by the bench for only filing a response one day before.

In response, the Centre informed the court that more time was required to prepare a suitable answer. The Centre was then requested to submit a new affidavit by the Supreme Court.
