In the Lok Sabha by-election of Jalandhar, there has been a political ruckus regarding the polling agents. The Congress and the BJP have released some photos, claiming that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has appointed polling agents here by calling workers from outside.
On the other hand, Education Minister of Aam Aadmi Party government Harjot Bains said that the opposition parties are not getting polling agents. Their booths are lying empty. Regarding this, BJP’s state head Ashwani Sharma said that a complaint has also been sent to the Election Commission and DC of Jalandhar in this regard.
Congress candidate Karmjit Kaur Chowdhary sent its complaint to the Election Commission. After this the police swung into action. Now by making announcements in the entire district, ultimatum is being given to the outsiders to leave the district. Police is saying that strict action will be taken against them if they do not leave the district.
Punjab’s AAP government’s education minister Harjot Bains posted a photo on social media claiming that the booths of Congress and Akali Dal are lying vacant in Shahkot.

Similarly Ashish Nayyar is Patiala but he has been made polling agent in booth number 83 of Jalandhar Central. Sher Bahadur Singh of Bathinda’s Rampuraphool has been made in charge of booth number 150 in Phillaur.
