BJP candidate from Budgam files complaint against Omar Abdullah for violation of Model Code of Conduct

Srinagar, Oct 29: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate for the upcoming Budgam by-elections, Aga Syed Mohsin, has filed a formal complaint before the Chief Election Commissioner, Election Commission of India (ECI), New Delhi, against Omar Abdullah for alleged violation of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC).

The complaint pertains to a statement made by Omar Abdullah during the proceedings of the Jammu & Kashmir Legislative Assembly earlier today, wherein he announced the setting up or commencement of temporary classes for a so-called “National Law University” at Ompura, District Budgam.

According to the complaint, this announcement made from the floor of the Assembly is being widely circulated across media platforms and social networks and appears to be intended to influence the electorate of Budgam by projecting imminent developmental benefits in the constituency.
