Alleged Poll Code Violation: CEO Urged to Investigate PM’s Helicopter Usage

An alleged violation of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during an election rally in Chilakaluripet has sparked controversy, with Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee’s War Room Co-chairman Somasekhar Vaddi urging Chief Electoral Officer Mukesh Kumar Meena to intervene. Vaddi’s letter, dated March 18, highlights Modi’s arrival at the venue via an Indian Air Force helicopter, which, according to Vaddi, breaches MCC regulations prohibiting the use of official vehicles for campaigning.

Citing Election Commission guidelines, Vaddi implores Meena to thoroughly investigate the matter and take appropriate action by electoral rules. This incident adds fuel to the ongoing scrutiny of political conduct ahead of the elections, underscoring the importance of upholding electoral integrity.
