Cong. complains of booth capturing in Amethi
By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI FEB. 24. The Congress has complained of booth capturing and rigging in the Amethi Assembly constituency. In a statement issued this evening, it alleged that these were done with the connivance of the district administration.

The statement said that the party candidate, Ashish Shukla, was not able to contact the Returning Officer, R.A. Prasad, despite several attempts.

Mr. Prasad's role has come under serious scrutiny specially in view of the fact that his wife was the BJP candidate from Mundera Bazar constituency.

The party has been regularly making representations to the Chief Election Commissioner since February 22 for a re-election, but there was no response from him.
