Maharashtra village cancels 'repoll' plan with ballot papers after police intervention
ballot papers relented on Tuesday and gave up their plan after police intervention, the NCP (SP) winning candidate from the seat said. A senior police official said they had cautioned the villagers that legal action would be initiated if they went ahead with their «polling» plan.
Earlier, residents of Markadwadi village under Malshiras segment in Solapur district had put up banners claiming a «repoll» will be held on December 3.
The village comes under the Malshiras assembly constituency, where NCP (SP) candidate Uttam Jankar defeated BJP's Ram Satpute by 13,147 votes in the November 20 state polls, the results of which were declared on November 23.
Though Jankar won the seat, Markadwadi residents claimed he polled less votes in their village against Satpute, which was not possible, and cast doubt on the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs).
The Malshiras sub-divisional magistrate on Monday imposed prohibitory orders, under section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, from December 2 to 5 in the area to avoid any conflict or law and order situation due to the «repoll» plan of locals, an official earlier said.
