On the other hand, BJP had also demanded an inquiry by giving a letter of RO. Congress candidate Pradeep Pal said that only one person in security force dress is seen casting vote in everyone’s postal ballot. As evidence, he handed over the video clip to the DM. Questioning the entire election process, he talked about making fun of the democratic system. Said it should be investigated immediately.
