Cong alleges rigging at polling booths

MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla on Tuesday met Election Observer Harpreet Singh Sudan and DC Sakshi Sawhney regarding poll rigging that happened at a few places during the panchayat elections. He was accompanied by former MLA Sunil Dutti.

MP Aujla filed a written complaint mentioning the names of the villages where it happened and said if action is not taken according to the law, then he will meet the Congress high command and approach the High Court.

MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla said there was open rigging during the panchayat elections. In many villages, Congress supporters were thrown out of the booth, there was a fight and even gunshots were fired. “At the time of counting of votes and announcing the results in the evening, atmosphere was deliberately made tense. At places where Congress supporters were leading, they were being harassed and were not being given certificates,” he claimed.
