Tamang to resign from CM post if EC refuses to lift the ban

Prem Singh Tamang has urged the Election Commission (EC) to decide his request for reducing the period of his disqualification before September 30.
Tamang met Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora and Election Commissioner Sushil Chandra on Wednesday to seek early disposal of his plea.
If the EC refuses to lift the ban on Tamang, he will have to resign from the post.
Tamang had approached the Commission to waive the remaining period of his disqualification under Section 11 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.
He reiterated the request and urged the Commission to decide the matter before September 30 so that he can contest polls before the six-month deadline ends.
