Just days ahead of Union Home Minister Amit Shah's repeat visit to poll-bound West Bengal, the BJP has clearly upped the ante while urging the EC to invoke Section 15 of the Representation of the People's Act.
In essence, the Bengal BJP has urged the Election Commission to impose the model code of conduct in the state early according to the provision of that section. Generally, it comes into effect only after dates of the election are announced.
