Lok Sabha polls | DMK prefers model code violation complaint against BJP leader Annamalai

Race Course Raghunath of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has preferred a complaint with the District Collector against BJP state president and BJP candidate for Coimbatore Lok Sabha Constituency K. Annamalai of violating the code of conduct and for filing an affidavit undermining his assets.

In a complaint, he said that Election Commission of India had clearly stated that only five people should accompany the candidate while filing nomination. Whereas Mr. Annamalai chose to enter the nomination filing hall with over 50 people. He also said that Mr. Annamalai’s affidavit shows lesser value of assets. Hence, he sought the ECI to disqualify Mr. Annamalai and reject his nomination.
