Does this violate model code of conduct? @SpokespersonECI pic.twitter.com/WQF3RiXzke
Multiple tweets said the cups were used on the Kathgodam Shatabdi Express and tagged the Election Commission, saying it is a violation of the Election Code of Conduct. It happened today but immediately glasses were withdrawn. Penal action is being taken against the contractor. Action is also being taken against the supervisor," the railway ministry was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
It has been claimed that tea was served in these cups twice. The advertisement on the cup was of an NGO called Sankalp Foundation. The photo of the tea cup comes days after the railways was found in violation of the poll code for issuing tickets with PM Modi`s pictures on them. Later, the railways said that it was an "unintentional and inadvertent mistake". Reports that tea has been served in cups labelled as "Main Bhi Chowkidar" have been investigated. This was without any prior approval of IRCTC. Explanation has been sought from supervisor/pantry in-charges over dereliction of duty," an IRCTC(Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation) spokesperson told news agency PTI. A fine of Rs. 1 lakh fine has been imposed on the service provider. A showcause notice has also been served to the service provider for this misconduct," the spokesperson said.
PM Modi launched the "Main Bhi Chowkidar" campaign this month as a counter to Rahul Gandhi`s relentless offensive on the Rafale jet deal. Like him, every BJP leader prefixed their Twitter account with "Chowkidar".
