BJP alleges model code violation in Goa
Statesman news Service
NEW DELHI, May 31. --The BJP today alleged rampant violation of the model
code of conduct in the elections to five Assembly segments in Goa that
would decide the fate of the BJP in government formation.
BJP vice president Mr Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, in his complaint to Chief
Election Commissioner, said Congress workers are misusing official
machinery and distributing money and liquor to voters. Mr Naqvi demanded
stringent action against the violators and claimed that his party workers
had caught Congress workers red-handed while distributing money and liquor
at several places yesterday.
The BJP demanded that special observers be sent to these Assembly segments
where elections are due on 2 June to keep a check on the misuse of the
official machinery and money and muscle power.
Goa is currently under President's rule after five BJP legislators
resigned from the party and joined the Congress. As a result, both the BJP
as well as the Congress has 17 legislators each in the House of 40. Both
BJP and Congress are making all-out efforts to win the seats.
