The Hindu
He calls for prevention of ‘rigging’ of postal ballots in Kerala
Union Minister Pralhad Joshi on Saturday urged the Election Commission of India (ECI) to prevent what he termed “widespread rigging” of postal ballots in Kerala by polling officials loyal to the CPI(M). Mr. Joshi, in charge of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) election campaign in Kerala, asked the commission to put impartial officials in charge of the distribution and collection of the postal ballots. The distribution of the ballots and welfare pension were being carried out simultaneously to influence voters, he alleged.More Related News
