EC defers polling in Karnataka's RR Nagar to May 28
New Delhi, May 11 (IBNS): The Election Commission on Friday deferred the poll in Rajarajeswari Nagar constituency in Karnataka to May 28.
The decision was taken just few hours before voting commences in Karnataka.
"The voting was deferred in view of “vitiation” of the electoral process on account of attempts by political parties and candidates to induce voters through distribution of freebies and illegal collection of EPICs aimed at either wooing the voters or keeping them from voting," The Times of India reported.
The commission cited two incidents of “serious nature” which compelled it to conclude that the electoral process had been vitiated.
The counting for the polling will take place on May 31.
