During the recent elections there was an outcry that some helicopters were inspected. People even threaten polling officers.
“Star campaigners and political campaigners have a duty to ensure that etiquette is followed, we will be very strict,” he said. Star campaigners should not act in such a way as to discourage the common voters.”
