INC candidate Haokholal Hangshing, elected from 2-Kangpokpi DCC and Bhumi Prasad Basnet, elected from 5-Irang Part-II DCC have jointly clarified that the allegations levelled against them by BJP candidate of Irang Part-II today are baseless.
The allegation of foul play on the counting day as alleged by Man Bahadur Thapa, BJP candidate from Irang Part-II has no authentic origin and it is only an attempt to tarnish the political image of the candidates, Haokholal and Basnet clarified.
Terming the allegations made by the Man Bahadur Thapa as an act of frustration the duo said that the results were announced after tabulation and as such the complaint of manipulation does not arise.
They also alleged that the BJP candidate of Irang Part-II had resorted to undemocratic and disruptive means by engaging unknown miscreants to burn down residential houses of INC supporters at Panikheti on the midnight of May 24 to create fear psychosis in the mind of voters and also failed in an attempt to burn down another house at Panikheti village on June 10 .
