Tripura: Row over BJP minister's Rs 2 lakh reward offer for polling stations
Tripura Minister and BJP leader Ratan Lal Nath announcing Rs 2 lakh reward for the polling stations in five Assembly constituencies which would record the highest percentage of votes in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, Opposition CPI-M and the Congress on Tuesday urged the Election Commission to take appropriate action against Tripura Minister. Opposition leader and CPI-M Tripura state Secretary Jitendra Chaudhury in a letter to Chief Election Commissioner (Rajiv Kumar) alleged that the minister's announcement of reward is an “open provocation of false voting”.
State Congress President Asish Kumar Saha in his letter to the CEC urged to take immediate and decisive action to rectify these alarming developments.
“Your swift intervention in addressing these concerns will not only restore confidence in our electoral system but also reaffirm the resilience of our democratic institutions,” Saha told the CEC.
