Summary:
Asked when these banners would be removed, he said: “The banners and buntings will be removed when the model code of conduct [for the ensuing Assembly elections] come into effect.” After removing the banners, the MCC booked cases against BJP activists and others for violations under the Karnataka Open Places (Prevention of Disfigurement) Act, 1981. At some places, they faced the wrath of BJP activists. This show-cause notice led to MCC personnel removing some buntings and banners. Mr.
Senthil told The Hindu on Thursday that he has asked the MCC to take action against Congress activists as well..
