The Election Commission has sent show-cause notices to Congress leader Supriya Shrinate and BJP leader Dilip Ghosh for making “insulting, offensive, and derogatory remarks against the honour and dignity of women”.
According to sources, the poll panel has requested their response till March 29 by 5 p.m.
After making a disparaging social media remark on Kangana Ranaut, the BJP’s nominee for Mandi Lok Sabha, Supriya Shrinate faced backlash. Later on, when the BJP attacked her, Shrinate made it clear that the post had been created by someone who had access to her social media account.
Former West Bengal BJP chairman Dilip Ghosh, who is running for the Lok Sabha seat from Bardhaman-Durgapur, made fun of Mamata Banerjee, the leader of the Trinamool Congress, and her family history.
Dilip Ghosh ridiculed the Chief Minister’s assertion that she is a “daughter of the state” in a video, saying, “She should first decide who her father is.”
The 59-year-old BJP leader said, “The Chief Minister went to Goa and said, ‘I’m the daughter of Goa’, and in Tripura, she said, ‘I’m the daughter of Tripura’. She should first decide who her father is.”
