Assam governor Gulab Chand Kataria campaigning in Udaipur: Gourav Vallabh

Congress candidate from Udaipur Gourav Vallabh on Wednesday accused Assam governor Gulab Chand Kataria of secretly campaigning for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) during his visit to the city, a charge rebutted by the BJP.

“A governor has been making secret visits… what immoral acts has he been up to, asking the media not to show him,” Vallabh told reporters on Wednesday, following up on his complaint to Rashtrapati Bhavan and the Election Commission of India (ECI) about Kataria playing a role in the BJP campaign.

“I am not worried, let anyone come. But questions will be raised. If you (Kataria) want to come, then come but leave your post (governor),” he added.

In his complaint filed earlier, Vallabh asked the Election Commission to stop Kataria from attending BJP meetings of his close associate Tarachand Jain, who is contesting the assembly elections from Udaipur.

“It is vital to restrict the movement of Kataria through the election observer in order to ensure effective implementation of model code of conduct,” Gourav Vallabh said in the letter.
