Udupi, Mar 26: A lorry belonging to block Congress president Pramod Madhwaraj that was supplying water was seized at Brahmavar here on Tuesday March 26.
The vehicle was allegedly being used as a promotion for upcoming elections.
As soon as the state Assembly election date was declared, the code of conduct for the elections was implemented strictly in the district. Local BJP workers sent a complaint to the election commission, after which the officials seized the vehicle.
Madhwaraj himself was not sure if his banner on the vehicle was removed or not at the time of confiscation, but other Congress members claimed that there was no banner.
The vehicle was sent to the tahsildar's office for further investigation.
