- 5 years ago
Noting that he prima facie violated the Model Code of Conduct, the Election Commission on Friday issued a show cause notice to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his alleged remarks that if BJP comes to power, 22,000 people will be killed in violence.
The Commission has asked him to respond to the notice by May 12 morning, saying if he does not present his case by 11 AM on Monday, the poll panel will take further action without further reference.
The notice said,"The Commission is, prima facie, of the opinion that by making the...statement you have violated...provisions of the Model Code of Conduct."
