Poll panel countermands Jharkhand Rajya Sabha polls over 'horse-trading'
In an unprecedented move, the Election Commission (EC), on Friday, countermanded the Rajya Sabha polls in Jharkhand. The strict action by the poll panel came amidst reports of "horse-trading" and the seizure of cash worth over Rs. 2 crore from a car belonging to a candidate's relative. Incidentally, the cancellation of the polls happened on the same day elections were held in the state for the two seats to the Upper House.
