“They are directing police officers and personnel to vote for the BJP and pressure being built on them for creating a pro-BJP atmosphere. This is impacting the election and is a breach of model code of conduct,” SP's state president Naresh Uttam Patel alleged in the letter.
“For independent and free elections in Gautam Buddh Nagar, both the officers should be transferred out with immediate effect and model code of conduct should be enforced in the district,” Patel said.
Elections will be held on February 10 in Gautam Buddh Nagar, which has three assembly constituencies of Noida, Dadri and Jewar.
