Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh
The Punjab Congress has accused the state government of using state machinery in transporting black money to pay to the party rebels.
Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh has written to the election commission alleging that the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD)-BJP combine was using the state vigilance department machinery in ferrying money to pay the Congress rebels and in the election campaign.
Singh named the SSP of the state vigilance bureau in Ludhiana for being involved in the activity. He accused the SSP of acting as the SAD-BJP election agent.
The former chief minister also requested that the plying of vigilance vehicles be stopped immediately to ensure free and fair election in the state.
Following the Congress's complaint, sources told Headlines Today that paramilitary forces were reaching Punjab later on Thursday and the election commission would ask them to check police vehicles for unaccounted money.
