Pro-tem Speaker violated rules by campaigning in bypoll, says Narayanasamy

Former Chief Minister and Congress leader V. Narayanasamy on Monday said the campaign undertaken by Puducherry Pro-tem Speaker A. Anbalagan in Thattanchavady constituency for the October 6 bypoll was against rules.

Addressing a press conference, he said the Pro-tem Speaker should be apolitical and his campaign for the AINRC candidate, Ashok Anand, was in violation of rules. The Election Commission should intervene on the issue, he added.
