Congress candidate from Haridwar City, Brahmaswaroop Brahmachari has been served notice on similar grounds after the BJP made a complaint to the EC that more than 200 vehicles were taken by the Congress candidate in his nomination procession. Video evidence of the same has also been submitted.A
Subhash Chowdhary, a candidate in Laxar assembly constituency, has been served notice for the publicity balloons he has floated over a school, a bridge and his own election office. Both the candidates have been given three days to respond to the notice.
