DM Vishal Chouhan made it clear that since none of the political parties raised any objection in the first place, normal election procedure was initiated. Now that EC won’t be dealing with the issue, the applicant has to appeal in the court, he said. BJP’s district head of Braj region Purushottam Khandelwal, however refuted all the allegations saying that this is AAP’s ploy for creating hindrance. He also made it clear that the party will deal with the issue, whenever the matter reaches court. PTI
