LDF approaches EC against Chief Minister


Wednesday, March 14, 2012: The Left Democratic Front (LDF) filed a complaint with the State Election commission on Saturday against Chief Minister Oommen Chandy.
The LDF complaint alleges that, Chief Minister had violated model code of conduct by conducting road shows and suggesting solutions for memorandums at public meetings in Piravom Assembly constituency for which by-election is scheduled on March 17.
The election was necessitated following the death of Kerala Congress (J) leader T M Jacob, who was food minister in the Chandy cabinet. Jacob’s death in October had reduced the elected strength of the UDF in the assembly to 71, including the Speaker, against 68 seats held by the CPI(M)-led LDF opposition.
