Mizoram People Forum (MPF) signs agreement with politcal parties, to ensure free and fair polls

Not only this, the agreement states that public feasts, dinners, picnics etc should be avoided as it unnecessarily escalates the expenditure of the candidate

As per the agreement, in terms of election expenditure all the political parties and candidates have been requested not to exceed election expenditure limit as specified by the ECI or state Election Commission. The agreement also mentions that since house to house campaign provides a chance for ‘corrupt practices’, therefore such campaigns should not be allowed from the date of election notification. Instead the MPF will make a common platform for all candidates to deliver speeches at a specified time and place. The MPF in its agreement with the political parties has also stressed on the fact that the corrupt practice of bribing voters through money and other incentives should be avoided. So it has urged the public, orgnaizations and church denominations not to make an appeal or favour particular candidates. Not only this, the agreement states that public feasts, dinners, picnics etc should be avoided as it unnecessarily escalates the expenditure of the candidate.
