New Delhi/Bengaluru, Jun 10 (IBNS): With the Rajya Sabha (RS) polls scheduled for Saturday, the Election Commission (EC) has refused to stall the polls for Karnataka based on allegations of bribery but has asked the government to hand over the probe to the CBI, according to media reports.
The EC has said that sting videos not enough to go ahead with bribery charges.
