BSP leader H N Nanjegowda told reporters here on Thursday the officials were showing a biased attitude towards some parties while enforcing the model code of conduct.

This was quite evident when the officials seized the BSP supremo Mayawati’s Z+ category escort vehicles during her recent visit to Devanahalli, he said.

“But the officials did not bother to stop the Congress President Sonia Gandhi (who also has the same Z+ category security) from using a convoy of vehicles during her visit to K R Puram.  K R Puram Congress candidate A Krishnappa has spent more than Rs 30 lakhs on her visit.

The EC should include this in the candidate’s expenses and disqualify him,” Nanjegowda said.

Pointing out that Mayawati was scheduled to visit the State two more times on the eve of second and third phase of elections, Nanjegowda said if the same attitude was shown by the officials then, they would have to face the consequences.

The party would soon lodge a complaint in this regard with the Central Election Commission, Nanjegowda said.
