EC revokes Kamal Nath as Cong's star campaigner

October 30, 2020 17:44

The Election Commission revokes the star campaigner status of Congress leader and ex-CM Kamal Nath for repeated violations of model code.

The Commission has slammed Nath for using the word 'item' for a woman candidate and said that the usage of word for a lady constitutes violation of advisory issued by the Commission. Taking another complaint in notice where the Congress leader has spoken against current state chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the Commission has said that its report confirms violation of model code of conduct.

If any campaign is done by Kamal Nath from now onwards, the entire expenditure will be borne by the candidate in whose constituency campaign is being undertaken, the Election Commission's order states.
