Rahul’s interaction with students of Tamil Nadu college didn’t violate poll code: EC

The Election Commission (EC) Thursday said Congress chief Rahul Gandhi’s interaction with students at a women’s college in Tamil Nadu did not violate the model code of conduct. However, the poll watchdog has sought a report on his speech.
Satyabrata Sahoo, Tamil Nadu’s Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), said local election officials have reported there was no violation in terms of permission acquired by Stella Maris College for Women to host the interaction on March 13.
Sahoo said the District Electoral Officer (DEO) informed him “there was permission” for Gandhi’s event. “So, there is no violation of MCC.” However, he sought additional information on Gandhi’s speech and requested the DEO to give a report based on the speech content.
