Jan Man: Congress attacks ‘Super EC’ BJP over Amit Malviya’s tweet on Karnataka poll dates
The BJP's information technology cell head Amit Malviya on Tuesday tweeted the dates of the Karnataka Assembly elections even before they were announced by the Election Commission, triggering a backlash from the Congress party.
Before Chief Election Commissioner Om Prakash Rawat declared the schedule, Malviya tweeted the polling will be held on May 12 and the results would be out on May 18. He later deleted the tweet and claimed that he had posted the dates according to a news channel report.
To questions from reporters about the polling date being leaked even before the official announcement, CEC Rawat said the poll panel will investigate the matter and take stringent legal and administrative action.
The CEC, however, said that Malviya got the counting date wrong as the single-phase Karnataka Assembly elections will be held on May 12 and the results will be declared on May 15.
