Digital Desk, March 3: Manipur went to polls for the first phase on February 23 for 38 seats in five districts of Imphal East, Imphal West, Bishnupur, Kangpokpi, and Churachandpur. Bharatiya Janata Party has alleged that 23 voting booths have been rigged during the first phase of Assembly elections.
Therefore, BJP Manipur has demanded re-polling at 23 voting booths on Wednesday in a letter to the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO). “The Indian National Congress candidate along with his associates armed with weapons forcefully entered the polling area and destroyed the EVM in the Saitu Assembly Constituency,” BJP Manipur has alleged. Significantly, the final phase of voting is scheduled for March 5.
