The election code came into effect after the announcement of the schedule of Assembly and Lok Sabha elections in AP. With this, the Election Commission guidelines have stated what political parties, employees, and others should and should not do. Everyone should follow these rules. Failure to do so warned that action would be taken.
The first action against code violation started from remote Srikakulam district. An employee who violated the election code was fired. This is the first election of EC in the state after the election code. VRO K. Ramesh of Kothur mandal, Dimili village of Srikakulam district has been suspended by EC.
Accordingly, the Collector Dr Manazir Jeelani Samoon issued orders suspending Ramesh on Sunday. These steps were taken on the basis of a report given by the Sdhanika Tehsildar that Ramesh had recently participated in the election campaign on behalf of the ruling YCP.
According to the Collector’s order, after a thorough inquiry into the allegations leveled against Ramesh under the violation of the election rules, the suspension has been revoked. Moreover, the district collector directed the officials to take disciplinary action against him.
The EC has already warned that the implementation of the code will be strictly monitored during the release of the election schedule and action will be taken against anyone found guilty of wrongdoing. Special teams have also been set up to monitor violations of the Election Code.
In this background, the news that VRO from Srikakulam district participated in the election campaign on behalf of YCP, and the investigation of the facts in the field came to light.
