NITI Aayog VC's remarks against Cong's 'NYAY' violated poll code: EC

-PTI

The Election Commission of India on Friday expressed “displeasure” over NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman Rajiv Kumar’s remarks against the Congress’ proposed minimum income scheme ‘NYAY’ and said the comments violated the model code of conduct norms.

In a communication sent to Mr. Kumar, the EC asked him to be cautious in future while making statements.

The EC asserted that the public servants should not only be impartial in their conduct but also in their public utterances, “which was found wanting in the instant case”.

On March 27, the poll panel had sought Mr. Kumar’s response on his remarks in which he had attacked the Congress over its minimum income guarantee promise.

The EC had felt that since Mr. Kumar is a bureaucrat, his remarks were prima facie violative of the model code.
