Continued enforcement will adversely affect people: Siva
Leader of the Opposition and DMK convener R. Siva has urged the AINRC-BJP government to intervene in getting the model code of conduct imposed by the State Election Commission (SEC) lifted in the interests of the people in the wake of the Madras High Court ordering that proceedings on the local bodies elections be kept in abeyance.
In a statement, Mr. Siva pointed out that the SEC had, in response to a joint plea by political parties on lifting the model code, stated that it would remain in operation as the Madras High Court had not stayed it in its ruling on a petition challenging the second notification for conduct of the civic polls.
The SEC’s position went against the spirit of democracy as the legislators represent the people, Mr. Siva said.
