The BJP advertisement questioning the "silence" of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over "repeated insult" to revered cow by his "friends" everyday appeared in vernacular newspapers in Kisanganj, Saharsa and other areas that will witness voting on Thursday in the fifth and final round of assembly election.
The BJP ad asked CM to "stop politics of vote bank and answer if he
agrees with statements of his friends on beef." Additional Chief
Electoral Officer R Lakshamanan told PTI the EC would seek a report from
the district magistrates where such advertisements have come up in newspapers to verify if there was any violation of election code.
