Imphal, April 22 2024:
BJP candidate for Lok Sabha election in Inner seat Thounaojam Basanta-kumar has said that the Election Commission (EC) may not order further repoll in other polling stations as there were no other cases of electoral frauds.
Notably, 11 Polling Stations in Imphal East and Imphal West went to repoll today after EC declared the election in these Polling Stations on April 19 as null and avoid.
Speaking to the media while visiting the sites of repoll today, Basantakumar said that every candidate is contesting the election with a belief that he will surely win and represent the people.
Let's all wait for the result which will be out on June 4 and see who wins the election, he said.
The BJP candidate said that he was delighted to see the repoll being conducted peacefully.
Saying that the security arrangement taken up to conduct the poll peacefully is under EC, Basantakumar appealed to the people to not blame the State Government.
It is the EC which decides which areas are sensitive and which are not, he added.
