SHILLONG: The election petition filed by Congress legislator Dikkanchi Shira against Tura MP Conrad Sangma was partly heard on Friday. The matter was re-fixed for hearing on October 27 and 28.
Dikkanchi, who unsuccessfully contested the Tura Lok Sabha seat during the by-poll, filed the petition challenging the win of NPP candidate Sangma stating that he had used unfair means to confuse voters about distribution of money under MGNREGS.
