The BJP on November 27 accused the Congress government in Karnataka of putting out advertisements in the Telangana media with an eye on the Assembly election in the State, and urged the Election Commission of India (ECI) to take action against the Congress.
A BJP delegation, which included Union Minister Bhupender Yadav and former Union Minister Prakash Javadekar (BJP in-charge of Telangana), along with party leaders Sudhanshu Trivedi and Om Pathak, submitted a complaint to the EC, stating that the Congress had violated the Representation of the People Act (RPA) and the Model Code of Conduct (MCC).
Addressing a press conference at the BJP’s national headquarters in New Delhi after meeting with the EC, Mr. Yadav said that the Karnataka government had for the last two days been publishing advertisements in English and Telugu media of Telangana.
