BJP has complained to the Election Commission regarding the 2014 state government calendar in which Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh has been shown distributing foodgrains to poor under Rajiv Anna Yojana and demanded withdrawal of the calendar.
"The calendar has been displayed in all offices and the picture of the chief minister is aimed only at garnering publicity," the complaint lodged by BJP said.
As per the Model Code of Conduct, the calendar should be withdrawn till the Lok Sabha polls are over, BJP leaders said.
Earlier, BJP had got ration cards with photo of Congress leaders withdrawn.
