Massive rigging, corrupt practices have vitiated DDC polls in District Udhampur: Harsh
JKNPP files petition before CBI

Early Times Report

Jammu, June 15: Alleging massive irregularities, rigging and corrupt practices in the conduct of DDC Elections in District Udhampur, a delegation of senior JKJKNPP leaders led by Harsh Dev Singh Chairman of the Party submitted a petition in CBI Headquarters Jammu seeking a high level probe through the top investigating agency into the conduct of the said elections.
The delegation made a detailed presentation of the alleged irregularities and sought immediate punitive action against the delinquent officers responsible for subversion of peoples’ mandate. The memorandum read that “the DDC polls held in District Udhampur in December 2020 had evoked a massive resentment in the said District with people complaining of large scale irregularities, corrupt practices and manipulations in the conduct of the said Elections. Several protests and demonstrations had been held at various places including District Udhampur and District Jammu including dharnas staged outside the Office of J&K State Election Commission (SEC) but of no avail. The complaints lodged by the Panthers Party and others were summarily rejected by authorities concerned without holding any enquiry. Not only were the complaints made by JKNPP to SEC and District Udhampur authorities during and after the said elections disregarded, but the State Election machinery was seen openly promoting the ruling party candidates and allowing them to brazenly use the administrative paraphernalia in furtherance of their electoral prospects. Aggrieved by the highly apathetic and rather offensive approach of the District Udhampur authorities towards JKNPP and their pampering of an extremely mollycoddled BJP, the party leadership had decided to legally pursue the matter by firstly moving an RTI application. The disclosures made in belated reply to the said RTI are sensational and reveal irregularities of grave nature having been committed in the process of the DDC polls thus necessitating a high level probe through CBI followed by appropriate action against delinquent authorities. The reply to RTI application had admitted that there were discrepancies in District Udhampur in the number of votes polled on the day of polling and the votes actually found in the ballot boxes in 11 out of the 14 DDC constituencies of the said District
And while there was no difference between the votes polled and votes found in ballot boxes in all other Districts as per the reply of SEC, it was District Udhampur alone where such discrepancies had been noticed. Pertinent to mention that during and after elections, the JKNPP had raised numerous protests against the Election authorities and District administration for favouring the ruling party besides having facilitated the process of rigging. With all such irregularities and corrupt practices having been admitted by the SEC in conduct of DDC polls in District Udhampur which remained the centre of controversies even during the said elections, the entire election process gets vitiated and becomes void ab initio.
