The Delhi CEO Office has sought a report from the North West district’s election officer in connection with the rally during which Thakur egged on the crowd, officials said. At the rally, Thakur, the minister of state for finance, shouted “desh ke gaddaron ko” to which the crowd responded, “goli maro saalon ko” (shoot down the traitors). Videos of the incident show Thakur did not merely ask the question, he raised his hands and clapped them in encouragement as the crowd responded with ‘goli maro’ several times. Incidentally, Kapil Mishra has been given a ticket by the BJP to fight the Delhi election. At the rally, Thakur is also heard telling the crowd to raising the slogan so loudly that Giriraj Singh, a Hindutva leader and a Union minister, can hear it.
