Cong petitions CEO over BJP’s ‘derogatory’ ad

SHILLONG: The Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) has lodged a formal complaint to the Chief Electoral Officer on the publication of a derogatory and malicious advertisement by the Bharatiya Janata Party against the Congress party in a Khasi daily and a local English daily.
In the complaint, the MPCC has expressed surprise over advertisement escaping the attention and scrutiny of the authorities concerned under the Election Code of Conduct.
The delegation was led by Former MP and AICC Secretary Dr Vijaylakshmi Sadho, Rajya Sabha MPWansuk Siyem, Working President of MPCC James Lyngdoh and Former Union Minister of State, Jesudas Seelam. 
The MPCC said it condemned such spiteful acts of the BJP which has no presence in e of Meghalaya and is trying to feel their presence felt by such malicious acts to have back door entry in Meghalaya.
The MPCC said it believes that the BJP will not be able to mislead the people of Meghalaya with falsehoods and utter lies.
“The whole country has seen how the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has fooled the people of India with lies upon lies at every election campaign about bringing back black money from abroad, about containing price rise , about giving two crore jobs to youths every year. What happened to all those promises of Mr Modi, the MPCC asked.
According to MPCC, the BJP is trying to use derogatory advertisements because they have no option but to face defeat at the hands of the Congress Party.
“Their only advantage is that they have hoards of ill gotten money from their business partners. We all know where they get money to pay for their big advertisements and their publicity campaign,” said the MPCC general secretary Sanjay Das in a statement..
‘Their financiers are all tainted people who are looting the country. Some of them have escaped abroad when they are exposed of their scams”, he added.
