The
Bharatiya Janta Party’s Darjeeling candidate SS Ahluwalia through a
press release has expressed his apprehensions about strong room in
Siliguri College being compromised due to ruling government’s influence
on the state police and has demanded their removal. Currently, the
strong room is guarded by two contingents of central armed police force
and state police personnel.
Ahluwalia said, “Looking at the state
government’s past record and its usage of police against the people of
the hills, I am afraid they could try to exchange EVMs to force the
results towards their side. BJP has urged the Election Commission to
only keep the central forces and relieve the state police.” (PR)
