Kohima, Nagaland(India).
February 28(ANI): The General Nagaland election has seen poll bound violence in almost every district and polling stations leading to unwarranted unrest and with the casting of vote that came to an end on Monday, reports of booth capturing by party supporters rose high.
In a report received on Tuesday, the supporters of the Bharatiya Janata Party 59 assembly constituency Seyoching Sitimi under Kiphire district has demanded for an immediate re-poll in polling station 30 and 44 at Kisetong Village, Nagaland over the party alleging the NPP party for booth capturing.
V Kashiho Sangtam, the intending BJP candidate of 59 Assembly Constituency Seyochung - Sitimi , has also written a letter addressed to the Returning Officer at 59 ac, for a re-poll at polling station number 30 and 44 at Kisetong A, citing rampant proxy voting as well as multiple voters presence inside the polling booth in the presence of all polling personals, while the Presiding Officer at polling station 30, has issued over 360 token to the non existent electorates, even after the normal timing of polling is over by 4pm, which is a direct violation of the Representation of the People's Act 1951 ,and added that it has never happened in the history of any election under the 59 assembly constituency or anywhere in the state. Kashiho Sangtam also questioned the audacity of the polling officials deputed in both the polling stations who aided in booth capturing which is a matter of serious consequence in the polling history of the State. Further, evidence proof of voters repeatedly casting voting even at 8pm have also been enclosed.
Toshiho K Yepthomi, President 59 Mandal BJP, alleged that the NPP made intimidation with threats and life attempts made to the two polling agents at polling station 28 Changchor Village, Nagaland, where complaints and requests were made for a security back up for the BJP electorates but the authority paid no heed to the requests made. Adding to it, the voters slip of the BJP electorates were captured by the NPP and casted all the votes in the presence of the Presiding Officer. Further, the office of the Residing Officer was kept locked the whole day and complaints to address the matter were left in vain. In preview of the matter that escalated, the 59 assembly constituency have demanded for a re-poll to conduct at the earliest.
They are demanding a re-poll of three Polling stations Changchor village polling no. 28 and Kisetong village polling no.30 and polling no.44
A bonafied voter from the Changchor village have also expressed his vain , not being able to caste his vote as his voter slip was already casted by another person unknown to him. Genuine voters were threatened with life attempts, and were not made to caste their votes, he said.
Following the incidents that took place on Monday, and inorder to prevent the misuse of the media from flaring up the tension in the district and prevent the breach of the public peace and tranquility, Nagaland Home Commisioner, Abhijit Sinha have issued a notification on Tuesday, dated 28th February 2023, to prohibit the mobile internet /data service of all the service providers in the entire area of Kiphire district under Section 5 of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, with immediate effect till further orders.
