💨 Abstract

The Assam Congress has expressed concerns over alleged attempts to manipulate panchayat election results by intimidating counting officials in favor of the BJP-led coalition. They have requested the state election commissioner to deploy central forces and install CCTV cameras in counting halls to ensure a free and fair counting process. The Congress claims that BJP members used money and muscle power during the election and fears similar tactics during vote counting. They have submitted a memorandum urging strict protocols and stern action against any dereliction.
