Election Commission stops three BJP ads from being aired
Bengaluru: Three video advertisements of BJP against the Congress were banned by the Media Certification and Monitoring Committee (MCMC) from being aired following a complaint from KPCC.
The order issued by the Karnataka Elections State-level Media Certification and Monitoring Committee on Friday was based on a complaint by the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee, which took objection to the advertisements — Jana Virdohi Sarkara (anti-people government), Viphala Sarkara (failed government) and Mooru Bhagya (three Bhagya — schemes launched by the Congress government).
In its complaint, the Congress had objected to these visuals and had sought action against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP chief Amit Shah and State unit chief B.S. Yeddyurappa, who are responsible for publishing the advertisements.
The committee has been told to reconsider the content and pass appropriate orders within 24 hours.

Davangere: Two policemen injured in stone pelting during Ganesha procession
Davangere: Reports state that two groups engaged in stone pelting at each other during Ganesha idol immersion ceremony in Davangere on Thursday. Two police personnel were injured in the incident.
Few days ago, two groups of youth engaged in verbal altercation regarding raising of a flag for Eid Milad celebration. On account of the clashes, police had heightened security for the Ganesha procession. Despite the additional security, stones were pelted at the procession, sources stated. Inspector Gururaj and constable Raghavendra were injured in the incident. The procession continued after the police brought the situation to control. However, the stone pelting resumed once again as the procession surged forwards.
Security has been tightened up in the area and all shops have been closed down by the police. The two police personnel, who were injured in the stone pelting, are undergoing treatment at a hospital.
