railway tickets having photos of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Trinamool Congress on Tuesday lodged a complaint against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) with the Election Commission (EC)


over the alleged violation of the model code of conduct. The TMC claimed that photograph of Modi on railway tickets is part of an advertisement by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty


Alleviation and it was in violation of the model code of conduct. In a letter to the Election Commission, the party said, "We are shocked to notice that even during the currency of the


Model Code of Conduct, the railway tickets issued by the Indian Railways contain achievements of the party in power at the Centre (BJP) with regard to Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and


photographs of Prime Minister Narendra Modi which is being displayed at the cost of public exchequer and obviously to influence minds of the voters."  The TMC urged the EC for


directions to stop printing the railway tickets with such ads and take action against the BJP.
