EC suspends 7 policemen over charges of rigging UP bypolls
The Election Commission on Wednesday suspended seven policemen over complaints of rigging of Uttar Pradesh bypolls.
Reacting to the defeat of the Congress in the Amarwara assembly by-poll on Saturday, MP Congress Chief Jitu Patwari alleged that the result clearly points towards the possibility of fudging and misuse of the government machinery by the ruling BJP.
Patwari claimed that the Congress and its workers had toiled a lot to win the by-poll and even the people of Chhindwara had made up their mind to defeat the BJP.
He charged that the politicization of government officials is a very disturbing trend under the BJP.
