Yet another complaint has been filed against Left Democratic Front candidate in the Thrissur Lok Sabha constituency V.S. Sunil Kumar for violating the Model Code of Conduct.
In his complaint to the Chief Electoral Officer, Congress leader and Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee working president T.N. Prathapan alleged that Mr. Sunil Kumar has used a flex with the picture of the Thriprayar temple and Thevar (deity) for election campaign at Chirakkal in the Nattika Assembly constituency. Mr. Prathapan has also sent a complaint to District Collector V.R. Krishna Theja, who is also the district election officer.
Using religious institutions and religious symbols for campaigning is a violation of the poll code.
