He stated that the building is Public Property and no political party may use it for political campaigning when a model code of conduct is imposed.
“The PACS is a sponsoring agency for Agricultural Loans. Every year, farmers in the locality take out Agricultural Loans through this PACS. As far we know that itself has a Bye- Laws which is not give permission for any political works/activity. Not only that under the same roof of this PACS there is a sector office of the Agricuture Department, under Govt. of Tripura”, he pointed out.
The CPIM leader further stated that he had complained to the Returning Officer on January 30 and that, in spite of his objections, the BJP activists did nothing aside than removing the Election Office Banner and other publicity items that had been placed to the vitrifying building.
