<b>BJP demands repoll</b>
Alleging large-scale rigging during the April 16 polling in Arunachal West parliamentary constituency, the BJP on Friday demanded repolling in two Assembly segments falling under one of the two Lok Sabha seats of the Northeastern State. <b>The party claimed that 35 polling stations in Mukto and Palin Assembly segments witnessed voting in excess of 100 per cent and directly blamed the ruling Congress of rigging the poll.</b>
BJP MP from Arunachal West Kiren Rijiju, who is seeking reelection, petitioned Chief Election Commissioner Navin Chawla on Friday requesting him to conduct re-poll in entire Mukto and Palin Assembly segments. He demanded repoll should be held in 66 polling stations.
<b>Flashing voter turnout documents signed by poll officers, he claimed the poll authority figures showed that votes in excess of 100 per cent were cast in several polling stations. âPalin constituency registered 102.53 per cent polling, while Mukto Assembly seat witnessed 97.47 per cent polling,â </b>Rijiju said. He alleged that polling agents of the BJP and other parties were forcefully removed from the polling stations by men who captured booths.
âThe security personnel at all the polling station were unable to stop the rigging as each polling station was guarded by a lady police and a constable armed with batons,â Rijiju claimed. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
