CPM charges code violation


Statesman News Service
MALDA, March 26: The state CPI-M has lodged a complaint with the state election commission against the Congress on charges of violating the model code of conduct. The charges will be based on the report of the Malda CPI-M, the district party secretary Mr Jiban Moitra said.

The state CPI-M has sent a copy of the complaint to the election commission in New Delhi. The district magistrate Mr Sridhar Ghosh started an inquiry today on the basis of the complaint yesterday evening.

According to the complaint, the Congress leaders took out a motorcycle rally from Malda town station to Kotwali yesterday morning without the permission of the police or the administration. More than 50 motor cycles allegedly took part in the rally with party flags and symbols for the election campaign.

The CPI-M created a compact disc of the rally and submitted it to the election commission in Kolkata and Delhi.
