Rajasthan: BJP MLA distributes money to supporters; violates model code
BJP MLA Gyan Dev Ahuja has been booked for violating the model code of conduct by allegedly distributing money to his supporters during a rally, right before filing nomination papers as an independent candidate yesterday. Returning Officer of Sanganer constituency, Jagat Rajeshwar, said an FIR was lodged with Banipark Police Station under sections of the Representation of the People's Act yesterday.
Ahuja had won the last election, but dropped this time
The action was taken after a video purportedly showing Ahuja distributing money went viral. The case has been transferred to CID (CB) for investigation as the matter is related to a sitting MLA. After denial of ticket, Ahuja, a three-time MLA, filed nomination papers from Sanganer constituency as an independent candidate. He won the last election from Ramgarh but he was dropped this time.
