The Election Commission issued show-cause notices to two Trinamool Congress leaders in West Bengal for allegedly violating the Model Code of Conduct, IANS reported. The notices against Jitendra Kumar Tiwari and Anubrata Mondal came based on a complaint filed by the Bharatiya Janata Party.
In his complaint, BJP leader Jay Prakash Majumdar claimed Tiwari, the mayor of Asansol, had announced monetary benefits for his councillors in West Bardhaman district to ensure a lead for party candidates in their municipal wards. Mondal, the party chief in Birbhum district, had encouraged violence, the BJP claimed.
