We apprehend more violence during re-polling in 34 booths on April 19 next, so we have demanded the election commission to deploy adequate Army and para military forces for ensuring violence-free polling, BJP Arunachal Pradesh unit president Tai Tagak said.

Addressing a press conference Tagak demanded disqualification of Congress candidate of Thrizino Buragaon assembly constituency Kumsi Sidisow for allegedly engineering a series of attack on BJP workers of the area since announcement of simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly polls in the state.
