Dimapur, Feb. 18 (EMN): Home Minister Kuzholuzo Nienu has been accused of violating the election model code of conduct (MCC) by way of using his designated “minister nameplate” while campaigning in Phek district.
In a letter of complaint addressed to the chief election commissioner (CEC) of the Election Commission of India, the Nagaland unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stated that the minister had committed violation of the MCC while campaigning at Porba village and neighbouring areas on Feb. 15.
