Mumbai : Dr. Subhash Chandra, the Chairman of Essel Group, who was elected as Rajya Sabha member from Haryana has refuted the charges and allegations against his Election through a Media Statement.
In his statement he termed that “With all due respect, the present complaints are an abuse of the process of the law and are simply counterblast to losing the elections.
He added that “These complaints are frivolous in nature and based on whimsical assumptions without a shred of evidentiary backing. Election Commission in Delhi had reviewed the proceedings post counting and after going through the same had given clearance to declare the results. The same is clearly reflected in the videos that were reviewed by the Election Commission. It is evidently clear from the interviews provided by various members of different parties regarding how the charges were traded between INLD and INC, right after the night of the election and the same allegations continued till 12th of June”.
“On 13th June, a new theory was coined blaming me to have cheated by magically exchanging the pen provided by Election Commission to cast the vote. It is a matter to record that the entire election process was transparent and no one, during the vote counting process, could have been certain as to the fact that Congress votes could be rejected/declared invalid as there was no mark to identify as who had marked which ballot” added Subhash Chandra.
He also pointed that “the whip issued by INC and INLD to vote for Mr. R.K. Anand in itself is a penal offence and is punishable under Section 171-C of Indian Penal Code”.
“The fall of events and complaints followed after the election results are only aimed at maligning my reputation and goodwill as an Elected Candidate. Even after showcasing its transparency in holding the elections, the Election Commission is also targeted with complaints, which are only based on assumptions of complainant” he added.
Finally he reiterated his position as an honest candidate whose aim is to simply work for the interest of Haryana.
