In the memorandum, it has been said that after the announcement of Assembly elections in the state, promising any kind of scheme by which a political party lures the common people or any such scheme by which the voters are tempted goes againstthe rules.

This is a completeviolationof thecodeofconductand also comes under the category of corrupt practices under Section 123 of the Representation of the People Act, the BJP said.
