The Election Commission has released the details of the email address and the WhatsApp telephone number for registering complaints regarding cash offered for votes in the ensuing Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly Elections.
The Rules and regulations pertaining to election came into force immediately after the announcement of the dates for the above election.
Subsequently, the flying squads set up by the election commission have taken up the stringent monitoring on this in all districts of the state of Tamil Nadu. According to the reports received, it is gathered that in the period of the last 1 week, an amount of around Rs. 1 Crore has been confiscated.
It is a well-known and a routine maloperation during the election when the mindset of all the political parties is constrained to indulge in circulation of huge amounts of money for votes. Though the Election Commission has made all-out efforts to prevent his, it has NOT BEEN ABLE TO SUCCEED in this effort! Adopting various ingenious tactics, the political parties somehow manage to successfully distribute huge amounts of cash bargaining for votes!
