Mysuru: At a time when elected representatives are desperately waiting to steal the limelight and dominate this year’s Dasara festivities, beginning Oct. 10, the Election Commission (EC) has put a spoke in their wheels by enforcing the Election Model Code of Conduct in Mysuru and Mandya for the forthcoming Lok Sabha (LS) elections.
On Oct. 6, while announcing the calendar of events for by-polls to Mandya LS Constituency to be held on Nov. 3, the EC imposed immediate enforcement of Model Code of Conduct that prevents elected representatives, along with their fleet of cars and posse of security men, from participating in public functions as a representative of the government. As K.R. Nagar (Mysuru District) comes under Mandya LS Constituency, the Code applies to Mysuru District as well.
