By Our Special Correspondent

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, DEC. 9. The KPCC(I) president, Mr. Thennala Balakrishna Pillai, has protested against ``irregularities and political partisanship'' in the preparation of the electoral rolls.

In fax messages to the Chief Election Commissioner, Dr. M.S. Gill, and the State Chief Electoral Officer, Mr. P.J. Thomas, Mr. Pillai alleged that there was political discrimination by some of the poll officials while enrolling voters. This was because a majority of Government officials deputed for poll duty were those who belonged to the pro-left service organisations, he said giving examples of how eligible voters were being denied enlistment in the rolls in places like Kozhikode and Ernakulam.
