A BJD delegation on Tuesday submitted a memorandum to the State Election Commission (SEC) demanding removal of all BJP-led Central Governments’ hoardings, banners, and posters across the State as they violate the Model Code of Conduct in force during the panchayat elections.
The BJD alleged that a large number of hoardings, banners and posters are found at petrol pumps, highways, railway stations, airports and other Central Government installations and offices.
“These promote the BJP-led Central Government’s programmes, schemes, projects in violation of the Model Code of Conduct,” the memorandum said.
The delegation included Sasmit Patra, Sulata Deo, Lenin Mohanty, Shremayee Mishra and Ipsita Sahoo
