Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain, Tujhse Hai Raabta makers in trouble! EC sends notice for violating rules
Yesterday we informed you that Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain fell into the clutch of Election Commissions as they violated the model code of conduct by promoting BJP’s schemes in the show which went on air last week. Similarly, now Tujhse Hai Raabta show which features on ZeeTv has violated the rules and now both are in great trouble.
Yesterday Congress filed the complaint against the maker of Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain and asked EC to look into the matter. According to the reports, EC has sent the notice to the makers of both the shows that they want the explanation within 24 hours regarding this act. Additional Electoral Officer of Maharashtra, Dilip Shinde confirmed the news that they received that notice that the shows are violating the rules and said, “ We have issued show cause notices to producers of the serials. They will have to reply in 24 hours. Further action will be taken after receiving their reply.”
Yesterday i realized Modi has found another venue to advertise himself. i watch "Bhabhi ji ghar par hain" (that's right, deal with it), this TV serial has started to use some not so subtle Product placement/advertisement recently, but yesterday something else happened

Thursday's episode used Swacch Bharat Abhiyan while Friday's episode used Ujjwala Scheme to sing praises of Modi. Pay attention to keywords "humare desh ki akhandta aur ekta ko khatra na pahuche", & "karmath, sushil, gyani, atulniya, purush" used to set the tone. pic.twitter.com/QjZ4fnwHPC
