Campaign pamphlets of West Nagpur’s independent candidate, Narendra Jichkar, were found in the seized ration kits. The Commission received information that kits were being stockpiled in these areas to potentially influence voters. Upon investigation by a flying squad, the kits were confiscated.
In light of the elections, Jichkar is accused of breaching the election code of conduct, leading to a police case. However, Jichkar has denied the allegations, claiming the grain kits do not belong to him and that his campaign materials were intentionally placed in the kits to tarnish his reputation.
