EC to register case against Raman Singh
The EC(Election Commission) will lodge a case against Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh for campaigning for his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) even after campaigning hours had ended.
The Commission asked officials to file a case in the police station on a complaint from independent candidate Virendra Pandey that Singh spoke on two local FM radio channels.
Pandey quit the BJP early this month. He is contesting against Industries Minister Rajesh Munat from Raipur City West seat.
"We will move an application to a judicial magistrate with a request to grant permission to investigate the case,"State Chief Electoral Officer Alok Shukla said.
"After inquiry, we decided to lodge a case against Raman Singh under section 126 of the Representation of People's Act," Shukla added.
