A Congress delegation on November 28 met the Election Commission (EC) to complain about three major issues, including reiterating one of its earlier complaints against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for alleged violation of the Model Code of Conduct.
The delegation brought to the attention of the EC to alleged attempts at “tampering of postal ballots” by the District Electoral Officer in Balaghat in Madhya Pradesh and sought immediate action against the officials concerned.
And ahead of the November 30 poll in Telangana, the party urged the commission to ensure that the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) does not circumvent the restriction on campaigning during the ‘silence period’ through surrogate means.
