Code of conduct: CM, Ministers can’t participate in Dasara?
Mysuru, October 08: As the Chief Minister and other Ministers could not participate in Dasara celebrations due to Election Code of Conduct, Mysuru Deputy Commissioner Abhiram G. Shankar wrote the Election Commission to relax the Code of Conduct, sources said.
Mandya constituency is one among three Lok Sabha constituencies, for which the by-election is announced. Since KR Nagar constituency is a part of Mandya Lok Sabha constituency, the election code of conduct would extend to the entire Mysuru district. In view of this, the CM and Ministers could not participate in any government programmes as per the code of conduct. So, it is said that no elected representatives would participate in the Dasara celebrations.
If the Election Commission relaxed the code of conduct, then the elected representatives could participate in the Dasara celebrations. Sources said that the officials order is expected to be announced on Tuesday by the Election Commission.
