Sangma may move court over Presidential poll

By The Assam Tribune

NEW DELHI, July 22 � PA Sangma today congratulated Pranab Mukherjee and wished him success but did not rule out moving court on the election, saying its process was �exceptionally partisan�, reports PTI.

He alleged that non-UPA ruled States were lured with packages and inducements and even given threats.

Sangma, who was backed by BJP and some other parties, said there is a compelling need for formulating an election code of conduct for the Presidential and Vice Presidential polls. A code will ensure free and fair elections, he said.

�The process in this Presidential election has been exceptionally partisan and political.�

Not ruling out moving the Supreme Court on the election, he said, �We are meeting day after tomorrow to review the whole situation where this matter will come up for discussion.�
