LUCKNOW, Nov. 19 -- Amid pandemonium over rigging allegations that prevailed during the counting process till late on Monday night, Prof Manoj Pandey and Prof Anshu Kedia were re-elected president and general secretary of the Lucknow University Associated Colleges Teachers' Association (Luacta) on Tuesday. The polling was conducted at Mumtaz PG College. The counting remained halted for multiple hours, with teachers calling for a re-election, after 17 extra votes were found in the ballot box containing votes from Rae Bareli. Another issue cropped up when 84 votes were found during the counting for the commerce representative's election while there were only 48 registered voters in the department. "Over 1,000 voters were registered with LUACTA, of which 50 opted for postal ballot on Sunday while 888 cast their vote during the election on Monday. The counting process culminated around 3am on Tuesday, after which the results were declared," said returning officer SP Tripathi. Pandey won the post for the fifth consecutive time, bagging 711 votes against his opponent Siddhartha Singh who received 176 votes. Kedia was elected general secretary for the fourth consecutive time, bagging 489 votes, after a contest with Amit Rai (398 votes). Prof Narendra Singh, with 261 votes, and Mohammad Habib who bagged 253 votes, were elected V-Ps while Kirti Prakash Tiwari was announced treasurer with 499 votes. Elections were held for the posts of president, vice-president, general secretary, joint secretary, treasurer and commerce representative, and for the posts of district president and district general secretary in Rae Bareli. Pandey said there were no extra votes. "The discrepancies were found during counting of votes from Rae Bareli and for the commerce representative post - for which elections have been called off and re-election will be conducted," he said. Alleging corruption, Amit Rai questioned that if there were extra votes in Rae Bareli and commerce representative elections, then how can it be considered there were no discrepancies in elections of other posts. He added: "Citing inappropriate behaviour by two LUACTA office-bearers, Manoj Pandey and Anshu Kedia, towards Shia PG College teachers following a verbal duel over alleged anomalies in the election, the Shia College Teachers' Association (SHIACTA) banned the duo's entry to the college."...
