In the election, leader of the Opposition and other candidates have to face sabotage. Some are raising finger on a senior leader of the party. Seven time MlA from Pathalgaon Rampukar Singh had to face defeat for the first time. Singh said that sabotage was done in his constituency openly. He had made oral complaint with the State president and would give written complaint also, he said.
Singh declined to take anyone’s name openly but said systematic conspiracy had been made to defeat him. There are two blocks — Pathalgaon and Kansabel — in the constituency. Sabotage effort was made in Pathalgaon, but could not get success, as his supporters and workers were alert there. However, in Kansabel, they played the game successfully, because of which he was defeated, he said.
