Shillong(Meghalaya), Dec 14 :On Wednesday , Saket Gokhale, All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) National Spokesperson, sought action against the National People’s Party (NPP) for not filing its election expenditure report within 75 days of the State Assembly Elections, 2018.
In his plea, he has called to attention the failure of the Election Commission of India and the Chief Electoral Officer, Meghalaya to take necessary action against the NPP for flouting the law.
According to the orders of the Supreme Court of India and the subsequent rules framed by the Election Commission of India, political parties are required to file their election expenditure reports with the Chief Electoral Officer of the state within 75 days of assembly election or 90 days of Lok Sabha elections.
A press note issued by Meghalaya TMC said It is not only shocking but also appalling to witness how NPP is weakening the pillars of democracy at their whims and fancies.
