Jalandhar | Monday | 21st October, 2019

Summary:

Timely action by police personnel, headed by SP Manpreet Dhillon, who rushed to the spot prevented a violent clash or scuffle between workers of both parties. Congress leaders like Sanjeev Bugga and Naresh Bhardwaj alleged that BJP workers openly distributed liquor among voters in Onkar Nagar. Moreover, Union Home Minister Som Parkash was campaigning in Onkar Nagar, which is an open violation of the code of conduct. The minister said he had informed the poll observer, the Election Commission and SSP Satinder Singh about excessive attitude of Congress men. The SSP appealed to all the politicians to follow poll rules strictly for a free, fair and transparent polling tomorrow..
