AGARTALA, April 18 (TIWN): Corrupt IPS Rajiv Singh was proven mastermind behind April 11 Poll rigging as identified by Central Election Commission Police Observers. Rajiv Singh ordered central forces to stay idle and ordered SP level police officials not to deploy them in polling booths. CPI-M MP Jitendra Choudhury after the dismissal of Additional DGP Rajiv Singh from Law and Order has welcomed the decision of Election Commission adding, “More black-sheeps are still active in the administration”. MP Jiten has called such spineless officers with “No Backbone” and working as “Daladas” (Political Slave). MP also gave example of Khowai like places where CPI-M was not given permission for rallys, whereas BJP not only did rallys within a day but destroyed the field in various ways. Jitendra Chaudhury has slammed the dropped officer Rajiv Singh led Police officials paralyzed the central force on 11th April’s poll day. ADGP Rajiv Singh paralyzed the whole central force during election to allow BJP goons to continue election rigging.

“I talked to few central forces personnel. They didn’t expect that after coming in Tripura for election duty such kind of pressure will come to them and expressed sorrows for the people of Tripura”, said MP Jitendra Chaudhury.

“Not only Rajiv Singh, few more black-sheeps are there in the administration. Election Commission also will take action against them as Police observers noted them”, he added.

MP also thanked honest officers who sent footages to the Election Commission and after seeing them, Election Commission was shocked.

Polling to Tripura East parliamentary constituency, slated for the second phase of Lok Sabha elections on April 18, has been deferred to April 23rd.

EC Under Secretary Santosh Kumar Dubey in a letter to the CEO, said the Commission has directed to re-publish a notification about the deferment of the election.

Demanding Chief Minister Biplab Deb’s resignation, Jitendra Chaudhury said, “Chief Minister Biplab Deb should not delay anymore and right now must resign. If Biplab Deb has any shame, self-respect and respect for democracy, he must resign immediately. If he doesn’t do it, BJP led by Modi should dismiss Biplab Deb”, said the MP. “Since 13 months murdering democracy held each day under Chief Minister Biplab Deb misusing the Govt machinery and corrupt police officials like Rajiv Singh. From party office bulldozing to day-night attacks on opposition, not allowing opposition to continue party works, forcefully occupying Panchayat, Municipal posts continued under BJP’s naked appearance”, Jitendra Chaudhury said.
