The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has accused the Tripura vice-chancellor elections of being marred by irregularities, including alleged fake voting and the obstruction of opposition agents. The party has called for an immediate investigation into the conduct of the polls.
Tripura recently conducted elections for the vice‑chancellor position at a state‑run university. The voting process was overseen by the state’s higher education authorities and was meant to fill the top academic post.
CPIM has alleged that the polls suffered from serious irregularities. The party claims that fake votes were cast and that agents representing opposition candidates were prevented from monitoring the voting stations.
In response, CPIM has urged the election oversight body or the governor to order a transparent inquiry into the alleged malpractices and to ensure that any wrongdoing is addressed promptly.
As of now, the election officials have not issued a public statement on the allegations. The controversy has sparked discussion among university staff, students and political observers across the state.
