P Saravanan, the AEO, claimed the shadow observation register (SOR) maintained by him showed a difference in expenditure of several lakhs of rupees.
The RO M Aruna, also the Nilgiris collector, refuted the allegations, pointing out that Saravanan is only one of six AEOS monitoring candidate expenditure from different locations.
"I didn't ask him to record a lower expenditure for the DMK candidate. As instructed by observers, I checked expenditure reports of all candidates. I did pull up this AEO for errors in the record," she told TNIE.
AS per the election expenditure report of A Raja, there is a difference of ₹41,00,649 between the candidate's expenditure register, which showed expenses of ₹13,44,012 and the SOR which showed expenses of ₹54,44,661 till the date of inspection on April 8.
