The Congress claimed, "severe breaches" of the MCC and the Representation of the People Act, 1951 by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) administration in Uttarakhand in a memorandum submitted to the EC.

"As the BJP government of Uttarakhand is conscious of the fact that it is being routed in the upcoming elections by the people of Uttarakhand, the Dhami government has indulged in desperate tampering of government records by back-dated appointments, transfers and postings and tampering with official records," the opposition party was quoted by PTI in its earlier report.
