Congress alleges Haryana councillors were detained before Rajasthan poll
India’s Congress party has alleged that party-backed councillors were detained in Haryana before a Rajasthan local body election. The councillors had been returning from Himachal Pradesh, where Congress had relocated them to try to prevent defections, according to the supplied material, which gives no details of the alleged detention.
India’s Congress party has alleged that party-backed councillors were detained in Haryana ahead of a local body election in Rajasthan. According to the supplied material from The Hindu, the councillors were returning from Himachal Pradesh when the alleged detention occurred. Congress had moved them to Himachal Pradesh in an effort to prevent defections before the election.
The material does not identify the councillors, say how many were involved or specify which authority allegedly detained them. It also does not provide a response from the Haryana authorities, the Bharatiya Janata Party or any other party. No further details are supplied about the Rajasthan election, the councillors’ current status or whether any formal complaint has been made.
The account therefore records an allegation by Congress and the stated reason for the councillors’ presence in Himachal Pradesh, without independently establishing the detention.
