In two separate press meets, Congress leaders claimed, the scrutiny was done in absence of any representative from the Party, but the State Election Commission reported opposite which was false.
“As the Congress delegates from Tripura met ECI, it was came to light and was verified that no Congress representatives were present during scrutiny, however it was reported otherwise. Congress sources said, ECI assured them to look into the matter.
