BHOPAL: Amid high profile political drama which unfolded in Madhya Pradesh , the BJP has written a letter to chief election commissioner (CEC) on Wednesday alleging that Congress Rajya Sabha member Digvijaya Singh has violated model code of conduct by trying to pressurise the 16 MLAs lodged in a hotel in Bengaluru ahead of Rajya Sabha elections in the state. The BJP has demanded appropriate action against the Congress leader. Digvijay Singh who is candidate for Rajya Sabha election for Madhya Pradesh, has gone to Bengaluru along with nine cabinet ministers and others to influence and pressurise the 16 MLAs from Madhya Pradesh legislative assembly to vote in his favour in the Rajya Sabha election, which is due on 26 March 2020," read the letter by the polling agent of BJP candidate Sumer SIngh Solanki and BJP legal cell member, Shantilal Lodha.The complaint further stated, "The 16 MLAs are camping in Bengaluru (lodged at Ramada hotel) at the moment. Digvijay Singh tried to meet all 16 MLAs in order to pressurise them to vote in his favour in Rajya Sabha election but they refused to meet him. After this, Digvijay Singh along with the ministers, staged dharna and tried to create law and order situation for the local administration."The BJP demanded that action be taken against the Congress leader for violation of MCC. "Since Digvijaya Singh is a candidate for the Rajya Sabha election and to pressurise or influence MLAs amounts to violation of Model Code of Conduct (MCC)," said the BJP.The Congress has rejected the allegations saying a candidate can appeal to the voters ahead of election. "Digvijaya Singh tried to meet the voters who had been kidnapped by BJP in a Bengaluru hotel. The Congress will also lodge a complaint with Election Commission for the release of the 16 MLAs," said Congress legal cell in-charge, J P Dhanopia.
