The Election Commission issued a show cause notice to BJP MP Dilip Ghosh for derogatory remarks about West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, following a complaint by the Trinamool Congress. Ghosh had mockingly questioned Banerjee’s regional affiliations in a video, leading to the EC labeling his comments as offensive and potentially violating the Model Code of Conduct. He has until 5 pm on Friday to respond. Ghosh issued an apology, citing past controversies over his statements. TMC officials have criticized his language and urged the EC to take severe action, including potentially cancelling his Lok Sabha election candidacy.
