Raipur, Oct 28: The BJP workers of Chhattisgarh today seized another truckload of school bags with Chief Minister Ajit Jogi's image on them even as the Election Commission has banned both its procurement and distribution since Friday last in view of the coming assembly polls in the state. The truck, third one, seized in the past one week, fully loaded with school bags was apprehended by BJP workers near Khursipar and taken to Chhawni police station in neighbouring Durg district, a State BJP spokesman told a news agency here. The bags, hidden under tomatoes, were seized yesterday at Supela Market in Durg district by the party. When contacted, Durg senior Superintendent of Police Ashok Juneja confirmed the incident and said through the district collector they have sought direction from the Election Commission what to do with the seized bags.


Today's truck was from Mumbai to Raipur, Juneja said.
