During the meeting it was decided to prepare a join draft of complaint to be submitted to the ECI against the INC candidate, he continued.

The complaint will be against the total violation of the election code of conduct by Meinya and will further include that the concern BLO of the 17/7 Khongampat polling station had supported the INC candidate and had failed to distribute voters’ slips till the election-day, RK Ranjan continued.
