The Election Commission has ordered the suspension Telangana Director General of Police (DGP) Anjani Kumar for allegedly violating the Model Code of Conduct.
The DGP, along with state police nodal officer Sanjay Jain and nodal officer (expenditure) Mahesh Bhagwat, had met Revanth Reddy, the Congress state president and a contesting candidate in the ongoing assembly elections, with a bouquet of flowers at his residence in Hyderabad even as the counting of votes was still under way.
The DGP opting to meet a contesting candidate out of the total of 2,290 and the star campaigner of one political party out of 16 political parties in the fray was a clear indication of mala fide intention of seeking favour, sources were quoted as saying by PTI.
As per the latest trends, the Congress is all set to form its first government in Telangana, leading/winning in at least 64 seats.
The ruling BRS has suffered a major setback as the party is ahead in less than 40 seats at the time of filing this report.
