It seems a tough task for Election Commission of India to smooth conduct elections at places like Kannur where law and order are under the full control of Marxist thugs like P Sasi anf M V Jayarajan. They with their henchmen prevented officials from removing Left Democratic Front candidate’s hoardings displayed at the LDF election committee office near the Collectorate. They questioned the officials headed by Additional District Magistrate who went to remove and deface the illegal campaign materials in the vicinity as directed by District Collector Dinesh Arora. The officials returned when the CPM campaigners and leaders prevented the officials from removing the hoarding displayed on a private building.
If this is the harsh experience of a District Collector in charge of election how could other lower officers conduct election free and fair? In these circumstances mere deploying of more police personnel to sector officers will not solve the problem. Instead there should be action from the EC to cancel the candidature of LDF contender.
Meanwhile the Marxist ministers and leaders are active in threatening election officials to meet consequence after the election. In Ambalapusha and Harippad, the Devaswom Minister G Sudhakaran had already threatened election officials to heed his dictate, otherwise meet the upshot. Immediate action from Election Commission is needed to control ministers violating election code of conduct.
