Charges Against Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party Mau Candidate Abbas Ansari For Violating Model Code
Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party candidate from Mau Assembly seat Abbas Ansari has been booked for violating the model code of conduct after a video of him purportedly threatening government officials during an election meeting went viral on social media, according to police.
In the video, Abbas Ansari, the son of mafia-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari, is heard saying, "Those who are using the stick today... I have come here after saying to Akhilesh bhaiya, who is going to become the chief minister, that no transfers will be done for six months... whatever they have done, they will have to give its account here itself."
The Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) is contesting the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections in alliance with the Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party (SP).
A case has been registered against SBSP candidate Abbas Ansari under relevant provisions of law for violating the model code of conduct in Mau Kotwali. The returning officer of Sadar Assembly constituency has been informed for further action, Mau Superintendent of Police Sushil Ghule said on Friday.
