Kannur (Kerala) | A Yuva Morcha leader has filed a complaint with the EC against Congress MP K Sudhakaran, alleging violations of norms while casting his vote in the Assembly polls in Kerala.
The Assembly polls were held on Thursday, with results for all 140 constituencies to be declared on May 4.
The complaint was filed by Yuva Morcha leader K Shijil against Sudhakaran and his assistant, Jayant Dinesh.
According to Yuva Morcha, the youth wing of the BJP, Sudhakaran entered a polling booth at a school in Kizhunna, Kannur, accompanied by Dinesh.
They alleged that Dinesh accompanied him up to the EVM and stood beside the Congress leader while he cast his vote.
Yuva Morcha also claimed that Dinesh was carrying and using a mobile phone inside the polling booth.
Yuva Morcha leaders said they had submitted video clips of the incident along with the complaint to the District Returning Officer and were awaiting an investigation and action against the Kannur MP.
The Election Commission had strictly prohibited the carrying of mobile phones into polling booths and had made arrangements for voters to deposit their devices outside.
