“It is learnt from a reliable source and strong evidence that there was erroneous conduct and unfair election under 3 Autonomous District (ST) in Karbi Anglong at Bokajan LAC and Diphu LAC due to threats from an armed organisation, United People’s Revolutionary Front, and illegal campaign conducted by Kuki National Assembly (KNA),” the candidate alleged in the letter to ECI.

Under such circumstances, he alleged that the voters under the two Assembly segments were left with not much choice but to vote for BJP or face dire consequences from and armed organisation.

The candidate further alleged that documents were produced before village chiefs and villagers to vote only for BJP and that the atrocious act of violation would not be tolerated by NPP.
