AGARTALA / NEW DELHI, May 22 (TIWN): After CPI-M MP Sankar Prasad Dutta filed a petition in High Court demanding re-poll in the whole West Tripura constituency, Advocate Bikash Bhattacharjee told media that they were trying to bound the Election Commission for re-poll.

“We have appealed the High Court, now it’s up to the court what it will decide about the re-poll. Rigging happened, there is no doubt about that”, said Bikash Bhattacharjee.

West Tripura constituency election was held on 11^th April, 2019 but massive rigging took place on the election day. Booths were captured, voters were prevented to cast votes whereas only 168 booths’ re-poll was conducted.

In this situation both CPI-M and Congress have gone in the legal way in demand of re-poll.
