    In Chhattisgarh state goes to the second phase polls Congress goes to Election Commision after EVM found in the house of a teacher.
    Never, such an act of blatant misuse of power has taken place. Electronic Voting Machines have been found in Chirmiri (Manendragarh Assembly Constituency). The seizure of EVMs from the house of an individual is not the only incident of abuse of power. Congress has alleged that in the Assembly constituency of Samri the BJP candidate was found distributing cash and ₹2 lakh was found with him, but no action was taken despite the FIR that was lodged against him.
    The BJP President Amit Shah road show and public address on November 17 in Raipur which was conducted without any permission.
    Congress has alleged that BJP President Amit Shah along with four candidates not only took out the roadshow but also addressed the public gathering at 8 pm on November 17 without taking permission from the administration.
    “Are election rules for BJP and its president different from election rules for other parties and its leaders. Do they not need any official permission to hold road show and public rally? Is Chief Minister Raman Singh not abusing the power? Election Commission needs to answer these questions.”
