MUMBAI: Shiv Sena (UBT) has filed a complaint with the Election Commission (EC) seeking an immediate investigation and action against violations of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) by the Mahayuti over issuance of 359 govt resolutions and appointment of over 50 Mahayuti supporters to 27 newly formed state-run corporations – all in a single day on October 15, the day the MCC was announced.
Sena (UBT) MLC and leader of the opposition Ambadas Danve has asked the EC to suspend and nullify any decisions made in violation of the MCC, particularly those with financial and administrative implications. Danve said the EC must take strict punitive action to prevent further undermining of the election process. Danve claimed the appointments were “aimed at rewarding loyalists” ahead of the polls.
