Besides the home minister, BJP in-charge of the north-east Ram Madhav and senior RSS leader Krishna Gopal were also present at the said meeting.
“You, being an authority to oversee that no political party, either incumbent or in the opposition, does not get an undue electoral opportunity by the use of administration, may I request you to kindly order an appropriate authority for an investigation into the matter,” the letter said.
The CPI-M alleged that the meeting was held “purely for a political purpose” keeping in view the forthcoming polls in three states of Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland.
