The Delhi chief electoral officer's office has approved Aam Aadmi Party's Lok Sabha elections campaign song after the party made modifications to it, officials said on Friday.
AAP MLA Dilip Pandey, who penned and voiced the song, confirmed that the song has been approved.
The party had claimed on April 28 that the Election Commission "banned" its campaign song Jail ka jawab vote se denge.
Delhi poll body officials, however, had said AAP was asked to modify the contents of the song since it violated the Election Commission's guidelines and advertising codes.
An official said the party resubmitted its proposal to the CEO office after making the modifications, following which the song was approved.
The song was released last month.
In a post in Hindi on X, Pandey said, "Truth can be troubled, not defeated! 'Jail ka Jawab Vote se' is not just a campaign song of AAP but it is the essence of the sentiment going on in the minds of the common people of the country. That is why, in the end, truth prevailed and the Election Commission approved the use of the campaign song in the elections. Satyamev Jayate!" -- PTI
