After Azam Khan, a member of the Samajwadi Party (SP,) Guddu Pandit, a leader of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP,) violated the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) enforced by the Election Commission of India (ECI.)
The MCC is a set of guidelines issued by the ECI, which every politician has to follow during the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections in India.
The MCC comes into force after the ECI announces the dates of the elections and continues until the results of the elections are announced.
Guddu Pandit alias Bhagwan Sharma, the Member of Parliament (MP) candidate of the BSP from Fatehpur Sikri, addressed the media and passed insulting remarks about Raj Babbar.
Raj Babbar is the President of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) and the MP candidate from the Fatehpur Sikri constituency.
Mr. Guddu said, “Sunn lo Raj Babbar ke kutton, tumko aur tumare neta nachaniya ko dauda dauda kar jooton se maarunga. Jo jhoot faelaya samaaj mein. Jahan milega, Ganga maa ki saugandh tujhe jooton se maarunga, tujhe aur tere dalaalon ko.”
The Indian National Congress (INC) is angry regarding the remarks and complained to the ECI regarding the same. The INC asked the ECI to take strict action against the BSP member.
