The spokesperson sought stern action against these organization and BJP, which is behind these entire poll violations, the matter should be taken seriously by the ECI and CEO of J&K, although the complaints have been forwarded to CEO J&K by INC Candidate and others, but so far, no action has been taken in this direction, he said.
He said the local polling officers have not even allowed the polling agents of other parties to enter booths, allowing BJP to capture scores of booths in Zanaskar, which has also been reported to Chief Electoral Officer of J&K.
Referring to the attempting to bribe to Leh Reporters of BJP State President, the Spokesperson said the Returning Officer has also written to CEO in this regard, but no action seems to have been taken so far.
