RS polls: Hooda demands through inquiry by EC

June 12, 2016 14:39

Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda today demanded a thorough inquiry by the Election Commission, including a forensic examination of the pens with which the votes were cast, a day after votes of 14 legislators were cancelled leading to victory of a BJP-backed

Independent candidate.

"Never before I have heard or even imagined that conspiracy of this level could be hatched. I can say with firm belief that a conspiracy was hatched to enable victory of BJP-backed candidate (media baron Subhash Chandra)," Hooda told reporters here.

Demanding forensic examination of the pens used to cast votes, Hooda said the Election Commission should conduct a thorough inquiry.

Chandra defeated Independent candidate R K Anand, who had the backing of both INLD and Congress.
