Mysuru: With Election Commission of India (ECI) announcing the schedule for the Karnataka Assembly elections yesterday, political parties and their leaders have come under scanner as the Model Code of Conduct came into effect immediately.
Deputy Commissioner K.B. Sivakumar, who is also the District Electoral Officer, said that the administration will be ‘ruthless’, if there is any violation of the Model Code of Conduct. “We will register cases with regard to the violation and take appropriate action,” he told reporters at a press conference at Zilla Panchayat (ZP) Office yesterday.
