The CPI(M) on Monday alleged that the BJP had started resorting to unfair means to rig the byelections in the Dhanpur and Boxanagar constituencies in Tripura. The party apprehended violence during the polls slated for Tuesday (September 5, 2023)
CPI(M) State Secretary Jitendra Chaudhury, in his latest complaint to the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), alleged that miscreants carrying firearms raided several houses to warn them to stay away from visiting polling stations. “BJP workers threatened the voters and the polling agents of the opposition candidates not to come out of their house on poll day, else they would face dire consequences”, he wrote to the CEO.
Mr. Chaudhury listed the names of people who were allegedly threatened. He requested the CEO to “instruct the police to take action without a leniency towards the evil attempts of the ruling party”.
