The Election Commission has served a notice on Goa’s Panchayati Raj Minister Mauvin Godinho for his “Modi’s Air Force” comment. He has been asked to respond by 5 p.m. on May 6.

The Congress had lodged a complaint alleging that Mr. Godinho violated the Model Code of Conduct at a public rally in Goa on April 10 by his remark and politicising the defence forces to obtain vote.

The Commission sought a report from the State Chief Electoral Officer and after examining the speech’s transcript, decided to issue a notice against him.
