The opposition Congress in Assam skipped a key meeting alleging the Election Commission did not reply to its appeal on a meeting on district boundary irregularities. The Congress said the EC gave very less time to the party and alleged the meeting had a "predetermined objective."
The EC has once again sent an invite to the Congress for a meeting tomorrow before the full team leaves for Delhi from Guwahati.
Ahead of the delimitation of constituencies in Assam, the full team of the EC led by Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar arrived in Guwahati on Sunday on a three-day visit for holding consultations with stakeholders, including political parties and civil societies.
"The Assam Congress had earlier met the EC in Delhi and asked them about the clarifications and the irregularities regarding district political boundaries. They told us they will meet our queries and we then gave them a reminder. We are waiting for a reply," Congress MLA and Assam Leader of Opposition Debabrata Saikia said.
