Social activist demands ban on post-poll alliances, moves SC

Sunday, 17 February 2019 | PNS | Dehradun

Strongly objecting to the post-poll alliances with the sole objective of grabbing power by any means, social activist Sanjay Kumar has filed a petition in the Supreme Court (SC). Addressing the media persons here on Saturday, he said that his objective is to draw the public attention to the very important issue.

He said that all the political parties should go for pre-poll alliances and make the arrangements under which they have forged the alliances clear to the people.

Sanjay Kumar further said that the election commission should cancel the recognition of the political party which breaks away from the pre-poll alliance.

He added that he in his petition has requested the SC to direct the political parties to refrain from making populist promises. “These parties should also mention how and from which resources they would fulfil the promises they roll out to the people.

Besides, the funds collected by the political parties should be brought under the purview of the Right to Information ( RTI),” he added.
