Guwahati, April 4
The Election Commission (EC) today procured the CD of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s speech at Dongkamokam of Karbi Anglong, where he allegedly announced an economic package violating the model code of conduct.

Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Asom J B Prakash today told newspersons that the CD was being sent to the Election Commission (EC) for further action.

The BJP had lodged a complaint in this regard and the Prime Minister’s office as well as the Congress had denied that any such economic package was announced.

Taking the fight to Election Commission’s doorsteps, the BJP yesterday pressed for “suitable punitive and corrective action” against the Prime Minister for violating the model code of conduct. — UNI
