Earlier, Techi Rana, an independent MP candidate from Arunachal West parliamentary constituency, claimed that the polling agents of BJP and INC had agreed to share equal votes during the electoral process held at 24-Kheel polling station under Sagalee constituency.

Rana, in a representation submitted to the state chief electoral officer (CEO), has alleged that an audio clip doing around various social media platforms, confirms the authenticity of his claims, and thereby confirming the electoral misconduct.   

He has appealed to the CEO to initiate time bound action against the responsible polling officers, including the presiding officer for negligence; thereby, to conduct fresh repoll.
