BJD to move EC over ‘rigging’ in Nuapada

The BJD plans to petition the Election Commission of India, alleging widespread rigging and EVM tampering by the ruling BJP in the Nuapada byelection. Senior MLA Pramila Mallik detailed concerns about booth capturing and manipulation in 63 booths. The BJP has refuted these claims, calling them baseless and a pretext for the BJD’s defeat.
