EC issues show-cause notice to Sukanta Majumdar, censures Humayun

The EC show-caused BJP's Bengal president Sukanta Majumdar for a malicious advertisement accusing Trinamool Congress of corruption. Trinamool's Bharatpur MLA Humayun Kabir was censured for threatening voters and opposition party workers. Majumdar must respond by Tuesday, facing penalization for non-reply. Kabir's May 2 speech in Murshidabad was in violation of the model code of conduct during a rally at Kazipara.
