Bhubaneswar: The BJP has drawn the attention of the State Election Commission (SEC) to campaign by minister Arun Sahoo in support of candidates in panchayat elections and demanded action against him.
A delegation of BJP led by party spokesman Dilip Mallik on Friday submitted a memorandum to the SEC along with a video recording showing Sahoo campaigning in the district.
The party alleged that the minister held an election meeting and campaigned for sarpanch candidate Bandita Nayak and the candidate for panchayat samiti member post, Gitanjali Das in Sunnaliti village under Badapandasuar panchayat.
Stating that Sahoo had violated the election code of conduct, Mallik demanded SEC to take action against him. “We have submitted recorded evidence to substantiate allegation to the SEC and demanded that the commission should file an FIR against Sahoo,” the BJP spokesman said in a release.
