He is a habitual offender and the Election Commission should watch his activities during the entire election period," JD (U) national spokesperson K. C. Tyagi told ANI. "It's not just him, but there are another dozen people who are like fringe elements, involved in spreading hatred during the time of elections," he added. The Election Commission of India on Thursday censured Sakshi Maharaj for violating the Model Code of Conduct and the Supreme Court's decision not to seek votes in the name of religion.
