The Election Commission has issued show-cause notices to Congress leader Supriya Shrinate and the Bharatiya Janata Party's Dilip Ghosh over "derogatory" remarks against actor Kangana Ranaut, who is the BJP's candidate for Haryana's Mandi Lok Sabha, and Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
"... on careful examination, the comment(s) have been found to be 'undignified and in bad taste', and to be prima facie violative of provisions of the Model Code of Conduct..." the poll panel said.
Ms Shrinate and Mr Ghosh have been given till 5 pm Friday to explain why action should not be taken against them. "In the event of no response... it will be presumed you have nothing to say..."
