A delegation of Congress leaders met EC and handed over a set of complaints about alleged violations of the model code of conduct by BJP and demanded immediate action.

Congress delegation lodged a complaint against BJP’s “false advertisements” invoking the 2G allocation issue and alleged that party was pursuing a decade-old narrative that had been discredited through a comprehensive judicial process.
The party prayed for removal of the advertisement and action against its authors and publishers. In another complaint, Congress sought removal of ‘

Modi Parivaar
