The BJP is using AIR Imphal for political advertisement, it claimed and asked if the BJP had sought permission and approval for the advertisement.
If no permission was given by the ECI, then what action has been taken and why has no show cause notice been issued, it asked, appealing to the authority concerned to do the needful at the earliest.
