The Congress on Wednesday officially complained to the Election Commission against Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma accusing them of violating the model code of conduct (MCC) while campaigning for the Chhattisgarh Assembly poll.
The party also alleged misuse of official machinery in Telangana, and complained against Madhya Pradesh Transport and Revenue Minister Gopal Singh Rajput as well.
In Telangana, the party alleged, election duties are being assigned to officers who publicly support a specific political party. As regards Mr. Rajput, the party said he had violated the MCC by promising ₹25 lakh to booth in-charges who ensure that the Congress doesn’t get enough votes in booths under them.
