Tripura Assembly Elections: Delegation Meets ECI

 

A three-member delegation consisting of General Secretary Sitaram Yechury,
Polit Bureau Member Nilotpal Basu and Central Secretariat Member
Muralidharan met the full Election Commission today.

 

The delegation apprised the Election Commission of the apprehension of
violence among large section of the voters in Tripura.  Such fears also
arise from the fact that a large number of motorcycles have been imported
into Tripura recently. Gangs riding these motorcycles, it is apprehended,
will attempt to terrorise and instill fear by the ruling BJP among voters
belonging to opposition parties. Other methods of intimidation were also
being used to influence voters. Under these circumstances, the delegation
impressed upon the Election Commission to take confidence building measures
including but not limited to flag marches not only on main roads but also in
the interiors.  

 

The delegation was assured by the Commission that it will take all steps
required to ensure that a free and fair poll is conducted in a peaceful and
conducive atmosphere.
