LUCKNOW: Almost a week after Samajwadi Party kick-started a campaign across Uttar Pradesh to register consumers for 300 units of free electricity, the Election Commission of India has sought a report on the matter from district election officers.
A senior ECI official said, “Under a routine process following a written complaint on the matter, the Election Commission of India has sought a report from all 75 DEOs.” On January 20, lawyer Yogesh Somvanshi from Allahabad high court had written to ECI and lodged a complaint against the Samajwadi Party.
