  • This time, ITBP Director General RK Pachnanda has been appointed special observer to ensure free and fair polling.

    But CPI(M) has objected to reports of a closed-door meeting between the special observer and the state BJP president at the Chief Electoral Officer's chamber.

    The "unusual" appointment and the meeting have "created confusion among the people," the CPI(M) alleged.
