ECI directs A.P. Chief Electoral Officer to inquire into MCC violations at PM’s public meeting at Chilakaluripeta on March 17

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has instructed Andhra Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Mukesh Kumar Meena to conduct a detailed inquiry and submit a report on the alleged protocol and Model Code of Conduct (MCC) violations during the public meeting organised by the BJP-TDP-JSP alliance at Boppudi village, near Chilakaluripeta, in Palnadu district on March 17 (Sunday).

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had addressed the public meeting, titled ‘Praja Galam’, along with TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu and Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan. In fact, it was the first meeting the Prime Minister had addressed after the three parties joined hands.

Mr. Meena, in an interaction with the mediapersons who met him at the Secretariat, said that the ECI on March 21 (Thursday) instructed him to conduct a detailed inquiry into the issue and submit a factual report immediately.
