The Election Commission on May 1 barred Bharat Rashtra Samithi president K. Chandrashekar Rao from campaigning for 48 hours for his “objectionable” remarks against the Congress.
The EC said his remarks at a press conference Sircilla on April 5 were violative of the provisions of the Model Code of Conduct and its advisories.
The 48-hour ban of the Telangana former chief minister comes into force at 8 p.m. on Wednesday.
After Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala, Mr. Rao is the second politician to be banned from campaigning for 48 hours in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
