Pratap Chandra demanded political parties not to get published advertisement

Demanding free and fair election in Noorpur and Kairana, president of Rashtriya Rashtrawadi Party, Pratap Chandra demanded the election commission to issue instructions to political parties/ contestants not to get published advertisement in newspapers 48 hours before the voting. He warned to move to court to file a suit there for getting the election cancelled if the same was not implemented. Chandra said there was provision in People Representative Act 1951 (section 126) which did not allow a contestant/ political party to canvass or get an advertisement published in newspapers. “There is a trend that the contestants/ political parties get advertisements published/ aired on in newspapers and media and this was violation of principle of Free and Fair election,” he said.
