Cong trying to rig Karnataka polls: BJP to EC

The BJP moved the Election Commission today alleging that the Congress was trying to rig the upcoming assembly elections in Karnataka and also complained that some officers in the state were biased towards the ruling party.

Four senior BJP leaders led by its General Secretary Bhupender Yadav submitted a memorandum to the poll panel, demanding deployment of adequate number of Central Armed Police Forces and "micro-observers preferably from outside Karnataka."
Alleging that BJP chief Amit Shah was not allowed to garland a statue of B R Ambedkar in Mysuru by the city's DEO/DC on April 14, the party said the officer should be "removed from election duty for committing such an indiscretion at the bidding of ruling party."
