The Left Democratic Front (LDF) has filed a complaint against Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Rajeev Chandrasekhar with the Election Commission of India (ECI) for violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) by allegedly misusing his position to solicit votes.
Addressing mediapersons here on Saturday, chairman of LDF’s Thiruvananthapuram constituency election committee M. Vijayakumar accused the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidate of “rampantly” violating the poll code.
In the complaint that has also been submitted to the District Collector, the LDF cited various instances including an interaction Mr. Chandrasekhar had held with the students and staff of LBS Institute of Technology for Women in Poojappura on Friday. On another occasion, the Minister pledged steps to spearhead coastal protection works including the construction of harbour and groynes to address the issue of sea erosion at Pozhiyoor on March 18.
