Govt cars from CM’s residence returned after Election Code of Conduct comes into force in Karnataka
Siddaramaiah, MTB Nagaraj's cars taken away mid-journey
Bengaluru: The announcement of the dates for the Karnataka state assembly elections by the Central Election Commission has put the code of conduct into force. As part of the implementation of the code, the authorities have recovered two government cars from the residence of Chief Minister Basavaraja Bommai.
In another incident, opposition leader Siddaramaiah travelled in a government car from Mysore to Varuna to pay tribute to a recently deceased individual named Mallesh. However, by the time the tribute meeting was over, the code of conduct had come into effect. As a result, the authorities impounded Siddaramaiah's car, and he had to continue his journey in a private vehicle.
Similarly, Minister MTB Nagaraju, who was in Nandagudi village of Hoskote taluk, was also briefed by his staff about the implementation of the code of conduct. The minister then chose to leave the government car behind and travelled in a private car instead.
These incidents highlight the strict adherence to the code of conduct by the authorities ahead of the upcoming state assembly elections in Karnataka. It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold as the election campaign gains momentum.
