AGARTALA / NEW DELHI, May 16 (TIWN): In a shocking exposure from Congress Delegation it was discovered that Vinod Zutshi who was sent as the Observer in Tripura polls, but supported BJP secretly even after witnessing videos of mass booth-captures, rigging. This truth was revealed during Congress delegations’ meeting with Chief Election Commissioner at Delhi today.

During the meeting with ECI it was told the Congress delegation that Special Observer Vinod Zutshi overruled the initial report for repolling in 433 booths and ordered only 168 booths .

Congress demanded the report of the observer Vinod Zutshi to be given to us so that it can challenge this order (specifically )in the Supreme Court. With the report, it will be challenged in the Supreme Court that the observer Zutshi did not follow the proper process and ground report.

Congress President Pradyot Manikya said that he will try till seeing the end of the justice. It was also said that Congress’s case is different from the CPI-M filed case and thus it has more valid grounds.

The party had organized a massive protest against the ongoing attacks upon Congress supporters in Tripura centering the Lok Sabha Election. Main election is against Chief Minister Biplab Deb and West Tripura MP candidate Pratima Bhowmik for the violence.
