The Election Commission on Tuesday goofed up the name of the election observer for Amethi (Chhatrapati Sahuji Maharaj Nagar) district and his cadre while trying to clarify that his transfer to Goa had no connection to his action against Robert Vadra. The observer was allegedly transferred for hauling up Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra for taking out a motorcycle poll rally in the district without requisite permission.
Opening a new front with the Congress, the Mayawati government on Thursday created a new district named after Dalit icon Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj that would include Amethi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Lok Sabha constituency.
