New Delhi (24/05/2024): The Delhi Taxi and Tourist Transporters Association will boycott the Lok Sabha Elections 2024. This boycott includes the participation of taxi and bus owners and drivers in Delhi.
Sanjay Samrat, President of the Transporters Association, stated, “Although we announced our decision to boycott the elections during a press conference at the Press Club of India on 24.04.2024, we still sought meetings with ministers, party presidents, and officials from all major political parties to ensure our demands are addressed and to strengthen the democratic process. However, none of the political parties gave us time or assurance that our demands would be considered after the elections.”
For nearly 10 years, our legitimate demands have been ignored by successive governments:
Panic Button Corruption: Crores of rupees are being misused in the name of panic buttons, making a mockery of women’s safety.
Speed Governor Issues: The speed limit device compromises women’s safety, posing a threat to their dignity and lives.
MCD Toll Tax Corruption: There is widespread corruption under the guise of MCD toll tax.
Vehicle Scrapping: Vehicles are being scrapped under the pretence of pollution control.
GRAP System Fines: Fines up to Rs 20,000 are imposed through the GRAP system under the pretext of pollution control.
Unjust RFID MCD Toll Deductions: Unwarranted deductions are made through RFID MCD toll tax.
Tourist Bus Seizure: Tourist buses were forcibly seized by the District Magistrate/Election Officer of Uttar Pradesh for election duty without compensation.
Double Road Tax: Despite paying the annual fee for the All-India Tourist Permit, Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh are charging road tax again.
We have protested multiple times and written numerous letters to the officials and ministers of these departments, but no action has been taken to date. Therefore, all taxi and bus owners and drivers will boycott the Lok Sabha elections on 25.05.2024.
We deeply regret that due to the neglect by the central and Delhi governments and their senior officials, we will not be voting.
