For his “improper, injudicious, and undignified” remarks against Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, former high court judge and BJP Lok Sabha candidate Abhijit Gangopadhyay received a show-cause notice from the Election Commission on Friday.
The Trinamool Congress filed a complaint against Gangopadhyay for his remarks against Mamata Banerjee at a public gathering on May 15 in Haldia, and the election panel took action in response.
The Tamluk seat in West Bengal, where polling is scheduled for May 25, is where the BJP has fielded Gangopadhyay.
In its notification, the EC stated that Gangopadhyay’s remark was deemed “improper, injudicious, beyond dignity in every sense of term, in bad taste” and that it thus prima facie violated the Model Code of Conduct’s guidelines as well as its advice to political parties.
The EC has requested a response by May 20 at 5:00 PM.
