Bengaluru: The State Government has come under the radar of the Election Commission for allowing a few departments to run on the ‘advice’ of experts.
Amid a debate over whether a bunch of political advisers, appointed by the government, can continue to function under the Model Code of Conduct, the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Karnataka Sanjiv Kumar clarified that political advisers have no role to play in governance during the Model Code of Conduct. However, the CEO revealed that he would look into the nature of the post before initiating any action against advisers to Ministers.
