The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has raised serious concerns with the Election Commission of India (ECI) regarding the “violation of the Election Model Code of Conduct” by DMK leader Anitha R Radhakrishnan. In a strongly-worded letter, the BJP has demanded immediate action against the alleged misconduct.
Allegations and Demands
The BJP accuses Anitha R Radhakrishnan of committing an offense by violating the Model Code of Conduct during the ongoing election campaign. The party specifically points out the following actions:
- Unconditional Apology: The BJP requests the EC to direct Anitha R Radhakrishnan to tender an unconditional apology to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The alleged violation has caused significant harm and tarnished the electoral process.
- Ban on Campaigning: In addition to the apology, the BJP urges the EC to ban Anitha R Radhakrishnan from further campaigning in this election. The party believes that such violations undermine the integrity of the electoral system and must be dealt with swiftly.
- Immediate FIR and Criminal Investigation: The BJP insists on an immediate filing of an FIR against Anitha R Radhakrishnan. The party calls for a thorough criminal investigation into the alleged misconduct to ensure accountability.
BJP’s Stance
Speaking to the media, a senior BJP spokesperson emphasized the importance of maintaining the sanctity of elections. “No candidate or party should be above the Model Code of Conduct,” the spokesperson stated. “We expect the Election Commission to take prompt action to uphold the democratic process.”
DMK’s Response
As of now, the DMK has not officially responded to the BJP’s allegations. However, political analysts anticipate a heated exchange between the two parties in the coming days.
The Election Commission is expected to review the complaint and take appropriate action based on the evidence presented by the BJP. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for the ongoing election campaign.
