Even though the BJP is yet to declare its candidate for the Kaiserganj Lok Sabha seat in Uttar Pradesh, sitting MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh who is campaigning there has been found violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) of the Election Commission.
The Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), Colonelganj, has issued a notice to him for taking out a convoy of more than 12 vehicles in areas under the Kaiserganj Lok Sabha constituency without prior approval, violating Section 144 of Cr.PC. A case has been registered over the matter, and the administration has sought his response in three days.
The Gonda district administration under which Colonelganj falls, has also asked the inspectors in-charge of Katrabazar, Paraspur and Colonelganj, for clarification in this matter. The local officials also have been directed to explain why information regarding violation of Section 144 in their areas was not made available to the office of Sub-Collector, Colonelganj.
