V.P. Singh filed his nomination in Fatehpur but did not care to visit it again for election campaign — he was so certain of his victory. He won it by 1,44,000 votes.
But the defector PM, Chandra Shekar, bribed the Ballia Lok Sabha constituency with a special development plan of Rs.1.5 crore. Despite all this bribing, he could win with a majority of mere 60,000 and that too through booth-capturing.
On the police wireless, the police complained that the PM’s secretary, H.N. Sharma was running amuck by capturing booths. The Election Commission looked aside. When the complaint was repeated again, the Commissioner merely said, “Stop him”. Another complaint said the UP Minister for Irrigation was capturing booths accompanied by a police brigade. This complaint was also brushed aside.
Then another wireless complaint came to the Commissioner — PM’s brother, Kripa Singh, is going around Ballia in a Contessa car capturing booths, accompanied by the Superintendent of Police. Again, nothing happened.
On the excuse of Rajiv Gandhi’s murder, first the polls were rigged on the streets — people were terrorized to speak in favour of the Congress. Those opposed to the Congress were murdered or manhandled. With the help of the police, polls were then rigged by capturing booths, as the polling officers and poll-agents were the alien Aryan colonials. This way, they cheated the victory of the Mandals. Depending on the local strength of each Aryan party. — Congress, BJP, Shiv Sena — rigged the polls in their respective areas. Thus, the Aryans won.
