A DMK Member of Parliament has demanded that authorities investigate Chief Minister Vijay and Minister Aadhav Arjuna for allegedly violating the election model code of conduct.
A Member of Parliament belonging to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has formally sought action against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay and his minister, Aadhav Arjuna, alleging that they have breached the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) that governs political behaviour during election periods.
The MP’s request, reported by The Times of India, underscores concerns that the officials may have engaged in activities prohibited under the MCC, though specific details of the alleged violations were not disclosed in the statement.
The Model Code of Conduct, enforced by the Election Commission of India, restricts the use of official resources and mandates neutrality from public office‑holders during elections. Any breach can attract scrutiny and possible sanctions.
The DMK MP has urged the appropriate oversight bodies to examine the conduct of the chief minister and the minister and to take corrective measures if violations are confirmed.
The call for an inquiry comes ahead of upcoming electoral contests in the state, heightening the political sensitivity surrounding adherence to the MCC.
