Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] general secretary Sitaram Yechury has written to Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar stating that the income tax notice served on the bank account of the party’s Thrissur district committee when the election process has begun is “violative” of a level playing field.
In his letter, Mr. Yechury alleged that the action of the Central agency was “ill-conceived” and urged the poll panel to put the order in abeyance till the election was over.
