TMC files complaint against PM's 'Kedarnath Yatra'

Kolkata: In a letter to the Election Commission of India, Trinamool Congress lodged a complaint against Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday. Taking a dig at the 'Kedarnath Yatra' of the Prime Minister which is being televised for the last two days, the party alleged that it is a gross violation of the MCC.

"I would like to bring to your notice that even though the election campaign for the last phase of polling for 2019 Lok Sabha elections has ended on May 17, 2019 at 6 pm, surprisingly Narendra Modi's Kedarnath Yatra is being covered and widely televised for the last two days on national as well as local media. This is a gross violation of the Model Code Of Conduct," states the letter to the Chief Election Commissioner undersigned by Derek O'Brien, leader of the Trinamool Congress Parliamentary Party, Rajya Sabha.

"It is very unfortunate that the Election Commission, the highest body and the eyes and ears of the democratic process, remains blind and deaf to the gross violation of the MCC," O'Brien alleged.
