The demand was made by a seven-member delegation which called on Election Commissioner G.V.G. Krishnamurthy in New Delhi yesterday and submitted to him ``evidence'' of Vijayvargiya's misdemeanour. It was led by RS member Vijay Kumar Malhotra.

MP BJP vice-president Babulal Gaur, who was a member of the delegation, told mediapersons here today that the CEO's most ``reprehensible act'' was deleting, just before the polling for last year's Assembly elections, an extraordinarily large number of names from the voters' lists ``arbitrarily and without informing the voters concerned or the Opposition parties''.

Another complaint was about posting as collectors of districts IAS officers against whom corruption or criminal cases were pending with the Lokayukta or other agencies. These collectors had become the returningofficers at the time of polling.

Besides, the state government had not posted para-military forces at polling stations which were considered sensitive or hyper-sensitive, thus leaving these polling stations open for booth-capturing, they charged.
