Starting just before the Thanksgiving long weekend, several campaign signs for Delta North’s Green Party candidate were knocked down.
According to Delta North Green Party representative Deepak Kanchi, about 10 signs in intersections and the front lawns of supporters of candidate Neema Manral were face down in the dirt while campaign signs for the BC Liberal and BC NDP remained standing.
“I don't know why and who is doing this but this is hate against the party,” Kanchi said. “This [election] is for the betterment of the community, so why are they using these kinds of tactics?”
Kanchi says the campaign is going to put the signs back up as soon as possible.
“That's all we want to do, we don't want to get into a fight or anything, we don't want trouble for our Delta residents,” he said.
Kanchi added the campaign will be informing Delta bylaws and will be filing a complaint with Delta police.
“We are all neighbours to each other, we should do something which can build society, we should not spread hatred by doing these kinds of hateful things,” he said.
