Sena has violated model code, alleges Congress

Deshmukh alleged that these transfers were made at the behest of Nagpur Guardian Minister Nitin Gadkari. The persons who were posted in place of transferred employees were sympathetic to the ruling alliance, he further alleged.

He said V N Wasade, chief engineer of irrigation department, Nagpur circle, issued transfer orders for more than400 employees from the area and instead posted personnel considered sympathetic to a particular organisation which was sympathetic to the Joshi Government. The transfers were made intentionally, with an ulterior motive to benefit Sena candidate Ashish Jaiswal.

Deshmukh also demanded that the transferred employees be re-posted in their previous respective positions.

Copies of the complaint were also sent to Chief Election Commissioner and and State Election Commissioner.
