BJP to file complaint against Congress leaders for violating model code of conduct during Lok Sabha elections.
BJP has decided to complain to the Election Commission against Women and Child Development Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar, her son and Congress candidate from Belagavi Mrinal Hebbalkar and her brother and MLC Channaraj Hattiholi, for alleged violation of the model code of conduct.
The three Congress leaders were seen posing for photographers inside the polling booth in the Government Kannada and Marathi Primary School in Vijayanagar in Belagavi on Tuesday, May 7 during Phase 3 of Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka.
They flashed three fingers of their right hand, which is the serial number of Mrinal Hebbalkar on the EVM. This is a clear violation of the MCC, a BJP leader said. A complaint is being drafted and will be submitted to the Election Commission officers in Belagavi and Bengaluru, a BJP leader said.
For the fifth phase of electioneering in Kashmir, it was the size of rallies that mattered more than the content of speeches. All the three main candidates, National Conference’s (NC) Omar Abdullah, J&K Peoples Conference’s (PC) Sajad Lone and Awami Ittehad Party’s (AIP) Engineer Rashid, slogged it out with slogans and strength of supporters at venues across the Baramulla Lok Sabha constituency.
