KOLKATA: The Election Commission on Monday censured West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh for violating the model code of conduct during an election rally in West Midnapore district.

It was alleged that Ghosh had openly threatened Trinamool Congress workers at a rally in Kharagpur, from where he was fighting in the recently concluded state Assembly elections.
