The AIADMK on Thursday, 18 April, moved the Election Commission of India to take action against DMK leader and Central Chennai candidate Dayanidhi Maran for allegedly violating the Moral Code of Conduct (MCC) by campaigning outside the polling booth.
Maran reportedly said that he was “voting for change of government” and requested people to do the same. This indicated that he was asking people to vote for him, AIDAMK leader Babu Murugavel said, in a letter to the ECI.
