Congress moves EC over BJP's 'communal' ad on 'removing SC, ST, OBC quotas' and 7 other complaints
New Indian ExpressNEW DELHI: A Congress delegation on Monday took up with the Election Commission eight complaints regarding Jharkhand and Maharashtra assembly polls, including a "communal" image posted by the BJP depicting reservations being taken from SCs, STs, and OBCs and given to members of a minority community. All the eight complaints raised by the Congress were found valid by the Election Commission," Congress MP Sasikanth Senthil, who led the delegation, told reporters outside the EC office here. In his memorandum to the EC on Monday, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh cited the said image posted on the BJP's X handle with the caption: "Congress-led MVA's game of appeasement is ON.Vote wisely, Maharashtra." "The image in the post falsely depicted an individual forcing out members of the SC, ST and OBC communities out of a rickshaw and accommodating a person belonging to a certain religious minority community," Ramesh said in his memorandum.
