Repolling in Chandragiri: Naidu says EC decision 'unethical, unconstitutional'

India TV News  

TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu Thursday criticised the Election Commission's order to hold repolling in five booths in the Chandragiri Assembly constituency as unethical and unconstitutional. On the contrary, the poll panel on May 15 relieved West Bengal Home Secretary Atri Bhattacharya for having interfered in the elections process by directing the state's CEO, he said. The Election Commission Wednesday ordered repoll on May 19 in five polling stations in the Chandragiri Assembly segment, under Chittoor LS constituency. Deputy Election Commissioner Sudeep Jain, who is in charge of West Bengal, had said action was taken against Bhattacharya "for having interfered in the process of conducting elections" by directing the state chief electoral officer, which he was not supposed do.
