Chandigarh [India], August 23 : Senior AAP leader and Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema on Friday said that the BJP has become the most "dangerous party" in the nation.
"BJP is stealing the data of our people. This means that whatever data they collect, they will manipulate it and commit fraud digitally. When fraud happens, they blame the state. BJP cannot collect data because the Government of India has enacted the Data Protection Act, which states that no one can access anyone's data. We won't let this happen in Punjab. Whoever does this, strong action will be taken against them," a senior AAP leader said to ANI.
On Lok Sabha LoP and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's vote theft allegations against BJP, Minister Cheema said, "First, they stole the data, then they deleted their votes, a vote theft happened. To stop this, AAP even went to the Supreme Court. BJP has become the most dangerous party for our democracy. BJP has become a 'vote-chor' party."
