Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) has served a notice to sitting Singur MLA Rabindranath Bhattacharya and the contesting candidate from
the same constituency for giving interview to a private
television channel on Tuesday.
"Singur MLA and the contesting TMC candidate
Bhattacharya gave an interview to a private television channel
today but as it is a no-campaign day so it has violated the
model code of conduct," CEO Sunil Gupta told reporters.
"A show-cause notice has been served to Bhattacharya
asking him to explain why action will not be taken against him
under RP Act," Gupta said.
Previously two other leaders, CPI(M)'s Goutam Deb and
Congress' Paresh Pal was served similar notice for giving
interviews during no-campaign time.
