INDORE: The BJP legal cell has sent a complaint to Election Commission against the manifesto released by Congress, alleging flouting of model code of conduct rules as promises made therein are completely impractical The complainant, advocate Sudhir Naik, on ebhalf of BJP legal cell has claimed that any government receives funds for implementing its policies from taxes and fees and that the Congress manifesto highlights more expenditure than income, which is impossible and completely impractical.It has been alleged that such promises wrongfully affect the voters ahead of elections and fall under wrongful practices as per model code of conduct.The announcements of the manifesto to which the complainant has objected to are unemployment allowance of Rs 10,000 per month to each person, Rs 5 per litre bonus to milkmen, withdrawal of all cases of power theft, Rs 10 lakh award to young researchers, one per cent mandi tax, loan waiver for farmers, giving vehicles and laptops to meritorious students and giving free smartphones to women between 17 and 45 years of age.“These promises are in strict violation of guidelines issued by Election Commission in April 24, 2005. Hence, a case must be registered in this matter,” Naik said.On the other hand, Congress has claimed that they have released their manifesto as ‘Vachan Patra’ and party will try to fulfill the promises.“As far as the complaint is concerned, BJP government has been duping people by making such false and appeasing promises since past 13 years. If complaint by BJP is actionable, then CM should be declared ineligible from contesting polls,” Rakesh Singh Yadav, secretary of Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee said.
