NEW DELHI: Congress Friday complained to the EC that Odisha governor and former Jharkhand chief minister Raghubar Das is campaigning for his daughter-in-law, who is a BJP candidate from Jamshedpur East, calling it a violation of the model code of conduct. The party urged the poll body to intervene to restrain the governor.
AICC functionary Ajoy Kumar, who is a Congress candidate from Jamshedpur East, told the CEC that he had earlier brought to the poll watchdog’s notice that Das was participating in election booth committee meetings in the said seat, and was also found distributing various materials to the public. Kumar said Das’s participation in campaigning is a major concern.
