Observer for Rajasthan's Kishangarh seat replaced over poll preparedness issue

The Election Commission (EC) replaced its general observer for one of Rajasthan's Assembly seats Tuesday as it found his presentation on poll preparedness "unsatisfactory", a senior functionary of the poll panel said.

The commission replaced Kanwaljeet Singh Cheema with P N Sridhar as the general observer for the Kishangarh Assembly seat in Ajmer, the functionary said.

He said Cheema's presentation on poll preparedness at a review meeting held by the EC via video-conferencing Monday was found to be "unsatisfactory".

Rajasthan goes to polls on December 7.
