Imphal, June 11 2015 :
BJP candidate of Irang part-II DCC Man Bahadur Thapa today urged the authority concerned to intervene regarding the manipulation of the result of 5-Irang part-II DCC election.
In a statement, Man Bahadur Thapa claimed that he was declared victorious by a margin of 6 votes in the recently held ADC election.
While the BJP counting agent waited for three hours to get the certificate, the RO insisted him to wait.
Meantime, Congress candidate Bhumi Prasad Basnet and the sitting ADC chairman Haokholal Hangshing came to meet the RO.
After the meeting, the BJP counting agent asked to hand over the certificate.
However, he was told by the RO that the Congress candidate has won the election, Bahadur Thapa alleged.
When the agent tried to complain, the security forces prohibited him to proceed further.
Alleging foul play by the Congress candidate and the RO, Man Bahadur urged the Election Commission to investigate the matter.
