Parties indulge in blame game

Complaints and counter-complaints were filed by political parties against one another throughout the day as the campaigning took place at Maloya for the ward 7 by-election.

Arguments were witnessed between the BJP and Congress workers in Maloya Colony. The incident occurred in the morning when BJP candidate Bindu Rani along with her father-in-law Mam Chand Rana and her husband were going from door to door seeking votes. An argument ensued with Congress worker Hem Raj Sharma as the campaigners came near his residence.

Sharma called the police and alleged that he was threatened by the BJP members. Mam Chand,however,claimed that they were only campaigning in the area. Police officials stated that both sides had been heard and the matter was being investigated.
