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.

Rape accused's mother murdered by victim's brother in MP's Shivpuri
Shivpuri (PTI): The 60-year-old mother of a rape accused was killed allegedly by the victim's brother in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district, a police official said on Saturday.
The incident took place on Friday, Rannod police station house officer (SHO) Arvind Chauhan said.
"An anganwadi worker returning from a hospital was offered a lift by one Inder Gurjar, who took her to a secluded spot and raped her. She called up her brothers to narrate the ordeal. One brother of the victim along with two associates went to Gurjar's house and assaulted him. When Gurjar's mother Sirkunwarbai (60) intervened, she was attacked with a sharp weapon. She died on the spot," he said.
Based on a complaint filed by the deceased woman's daughter-in-law, three persons were booked for murder. One of them was held on Saturday, the official added.
A separate case has also been registered against Gurjar for rape, he said.
Police personnel have been deployed in the area in view of tension following the incident, the official added.
