Assam bypolls | Congress urges CEO to debar Assam CM from campaigning over 'MCC violation'
The Hindu
Congress accused the CM of "repeatedly making statements that for the development of any Legislative Assembly Constituency it is important for an MLA to belong to the ruling party".
The opposition Congress in Assam on Saturday urged the State's Chief Electoral Officer to bar Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma from campaigning for the October 30 byelections, alleging that he violated the model code of conduct (MCC) by promising development projects in poll-bound constituencies.
The party also claimed that the CM has "lowered the prestige of Indian Parliamentary System, the election system and the Constitution" during the campaigning for candidates of the BJP and its allies.
