New Delhi: Concerned over reports of money being
used in the Rajya Sabha polls from Jharkhand and Uttarakhand, the
Election Commission Friday asked the returning officers of the two
assemblies not to start counting the votes scheduled for 5 p.m.
In its communication to the returning officers of the assemblies
of Jharkhand and Uttarakhand, the EC asked them to submit detailed
and comprehensive reports of the conduct of polls Friday with
special reference to any untoward incident immediately after
voting was over.
Besides asking the ROs not to start counting the votes till being
asked to do so, the poll panel also asked the election officials
not to declare the results of the Rajya Sabha polls till the
commission gives its nod.
The EC said it would ask the ROs to count the votes after perusing
their reports on the conduct of polls.
Over Rs.2 crore in cash was seized from a vehicle in Jharkhand
Thursday. It was reported that the vehicle belonged to the kin of
an independent candidate.
