Imphal, March 01 2022:
CM and BJP candidate for Heingang AC N Biren Singh's election agent Salam Rajen has strongly refuted the statement made by INC candidate P Saratchandra to the media about barring his polling agents in 11 polling stations during Monday's election.
Terming Saratchandra's statement as baseless, Rajen told media persons at BJP Heingang Mandal office Tuesday that there could be no polling agents for P Saratchandra in some polling stations of Heingang due to intense popularity wave of chief minister N Biren and INC candidate's charge was an attempt to wrongly portray CM Biren and BJP workers to the people.
He also said that returning and presiding officers concerned have already clarified about Saratchandra's allegation and there are certain regulations of the ECI on polling agents and voting without polling agents.
