Accused of model code violation, MP Arvind Dharmapuri puts up deleted Facebook posts

HYDERABAD: Nizamabad MP Arvind Dharmapuri put up two posts on Facebook which he had deleted after requests from bureaucrats, even as an FIR has been registered against him for alleged violation of model code of conduct. The MP said that since a case was already booked against him despite him removing the posts, Dharmapuri was once again posting them. “There is nothing objectionable in the posts, but I still obliged and removed them.However, now I will fight it out,” he said. “Desperate CM’s office forced the Nizamabad police to file a case against me alleging provocative posts on social media. They were told to file it after municipal polls as anything before that would bring mileage to BJP,” Arvind Dharmapuri alleged on Thursday.
