Election Commission serves notice on Chandrababu Naidu
J. Venkatesan
NEW DELHI: The Election Commission on Friday issued a notice to former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu asking him to explain why action should not be initiated against him for violating the model code of conduct by holding a public meeting beyond 10 p.m. on May 19.
In the notice, the Commission pointed out that the code had come into force on April 16 (when the elections were announced) in all the 10 districts of Andhra Pradesh in which 22 of the Assembly and Lok Sabha constituencies fall “and this includes Mahabubnagar district.” The notice said Mr. Naidu held a meeting of the Telugu Desam Party in village Rajapur, Balanagar in Mahabubnagar district on May 19 without the permission of the competent authorities. He also held the meeting beyond the prescribed time limit for campaigning, using a loudspeaker, and thus had violated the directions issued by the Supreme Court on the use of loudspeakers.
The Commission said it had been confirmed that these incidents had, indeed, happened and the local police had booked a case under the Indian Police Act. The Commission asked Mr. Naidu to explain to the notice by 12 noon of May 25.
