The Election Commission on Thursday issued a show-cause notice to Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for allegedly making communally charged remarks during an election campaign in poll-bound Chhattisgarh. The Election Commission, in its show-cause notice, said that certain parts of the BJP leader’s speech that he delivered on October 18 have been found to be “prima facie violative” of provisions of the Model Code of Conduct and Representation of the People Act, 1951.

“Now, therefore, you are hereby called upon to show cause by 17.00 hrs. of 30th October’2023 (Monday) as to why appropriate action for violation of Model Code of Conduct should not be taken against you,” the notice read.
