EC to issue notice to Jaiswal

The Hindu  

The Election Commission on Friday decided to issue show cause notice to Coal Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal for alleged poll code violation for his comments on imposition of President’s rule in Uttar Pradesh. The Commission in its meeting decided to issue the notice to Mr. Jaiswal asking why action should not be initiated against him for his controversial comments, a senior Commission official told PTI. The EC acted on the BJP complaint made against Mr. Jaiswal on Thursday on his President’s Rule comments, which it termed as a violation of the Model Code of Conduct and had asked the Uttar Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer to send the same to Delhi and procure the video of Mr. Jaiswal’s speech made in Kanpur. Reacting sharply to Jaiswal’s remarks, BJP accused the Congress of treating the State like its fiefdom and dubbed the minister’s comments as “undemocratic and a threat to the voters” BJP President Nitin Gadkari had also hit out at Mr. Jaiswal, saying, “He is issuing a threat to the voters that if you do not vote for the Congress we will bring President’s Rule.
