West Bengal Assembly Elections 2021: Election Commission bars Dilip Ghosh from campaigning

The Election Commission on Thursday banned Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh from campaigning for 24 hours and showcaused the party’s office-bearer Sayantan Basu for provocative remarks on the CISF firing in which four youths had been killed during voting in the Sitalkuchi Assembly constituency on April 10.
Ghosh was found guilty of violating two clauses of the model code of conduct that prohibit incitement of hatred between communities and intimidation. He had said “dushtu chhele” would be shot like the way the central forces had done at Sitalkuchi in Cooch Behar district.
The EC said: “Now, therefore, the Commission hereby sternly warns Shri Dilip Ghosh and advises him to desist from using such statement while making public utterances during the period when Model Code of Conduct is in force and imposes a ban of 24 hours from 7 pm on 15th April 2021 to 7 pm on 16th April 2021.”
