BHUBANESWAR: The Odisha BJP on Monday knocked the door of Election Commission of India through State’s Chief Electoral Officer alleging that Special Secretary at Odisha CMO and senior IPS officer DS Kutey was favouring the ruling BJD in election campaigning.
The Odisha BJP has submitted a memorandum to ECI through State’s Chief Electoral Officer seeking action against IPS officer Kuttey.
The BJP memorandum argued that “If the call records of Kutey are monitored and studied, it will reveal as to how he is monitoring the election campaign of Biju Janata Dal. Kutey directly did politics and political activities, and hence committed an offence under Section 129 of the Representation of People Act, 1951,” .
“The IPS officer has been working in the Odisha CMO as Special Secretary for the last 9 years. In a planned manner, he has been threatening the public officers, mainly SPs and IICs to favour the Biju Janata Dal in various ways including transport and distribution of cash. Police does not register FIR on complaints filed by opposition political parties whereas promptly does the same and action is taken when a complaint is filed by the members of the BJD,” the letter read.
