The complaint, filed with the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) on April 9, accused Sarma of promising to deposit Rs 10,000 into the bank account of every ration cardholder post-election, which Bordoloi considers a violation of the MCC.
The Education Department and the TSR seventh battalion commandant separately took action following the direction of the Election Commission.
Mr Basu, however, ridiculed the alleged move saying, “Violation of MCC if any it is the prerogative of the political parties to bring it to the notice of the EC, which would look into it.
The West Bengal BJP later drew the attention of the CEO in the matter, claiming that such announcements were a gross violation of the MCC.
Addressing media persons, Thakur said that the BJP has submitted a memorandum to the Chief Electoral Officer in this regard, calling for strict action on the issue.
The pre-certification of political advertisements is also applicable to print media as well for one day before poll day (Pre-Poll) and on poll day.
A war of words broke out between the BRS and the opposition Congress on Monday after the Election Commission ordered to stop the financial disbursement under the Telanagana government's Rythu Bandhu scheme over violation of model code of conduct.
