On being asked by media whereas there will be any action against MLA Ramprasad Pal for forcing police to remove security, he said, if videos are there, for sure there will be action.CPI-M and Congress both parties have complained to Election Commission at Delhi and also footages were handedover in pen-drive to the Election Commission. Calling a press conference in the evening, CEO Sriram Taranikanti said, people used C-Vigil at less percentage and if complaints were filed then the situation would not be like that.

Addressing media, Taranikanti said, “Tripura’s electoral roll is considered as good and across the country Tripura has a good name for voting percentage. All political parties and voters jointly conduct such peaceful election. Many complaints have come to us. Many are saying, they were not allowed to cast votes and many said, they were prevented to come to the polling stations. We have to focus on the mass rigging”.

Taranikanti asked the voters to use C-Vigil app and immediately send video, footages to the complaint form in the East Tripura election. He said, as C-Vigil was not used properly during West Tripura poll and thus it happened in West Tripura constituency’s polling hours.
