Assam: AJP candidate Kunki Chowdhury appears before police in poll code violation case

AJP candidate Kunki Chowdhury appears before Guwahati police for alleged Model Code of Conduct violation during Assam Assembly elections.

"The development comes amid heightened scrutiny by the Election Commission authorities to ensure strict enforcement of the MCC across Assam during the poll period. - Police Sources"

Guwahati, April 12

Assam Jatiya Parishad leader and candidate Kunki Chowdhury appeared before Panbazar Police Station in Guwahati on Sunday in connection with a case related to alleged violation of the Model Code of Conduct during the ongoing Assembly elections in Assam.

According to police sources, Chowdhury was questioned for a brief period regarding the allegations before being allowed to leave.

The case against her was registered following complaints of breaching election guidelines, though officials have not disclosed detailed specifics of the alleged violation.

The development comes amid heightened scrutiny by the Election Commission authorities to ensure strict enforcement of the MCC across Assam during the poll period.

Several candidates and political workers have come under the scanner in recent days for alleged violations.

Kunki Chowdhury is a candidate of the AJP, a regional political party formed in the aftermath of the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) movement.

The regional party has positioned itself as a voice of indigenous identity and regional aspirations in Assam's political landscape.

Chowdhury has been active in grassroots politics and is known for her involvement in issues concerning local communities.

Her candidature is part of AJP's broader strategy to expand its presence by fielding leaders associated with regional and youth-driven movements.

Earlier, police had summoned her in connection with the case after taking cognisance of the alleged MCC violation.

The matter remains under investigation, and further action, if any, will depend on the findings of the inquiry.

Authorities reiterated their commitment to maintaining a level playing field and ensuring that all candidates adhere strictly to election norms during the polling process.

Interesting to see the AJP candidate in the news. The party came from the CAA protests, right? Hope the investigation is transparent. Voters deserve to know if their candidates are playing by the rules. 🤔

Without knowing the specific violation, it's hard to comment. But the timing is always suspicious during elections. Could be a genuine mistake, could be political pressure. EC should release more details for public clarity.

As a voter from Assam, I appreciate the EC's vigilance. So many violations go unnoticed. Small parties or big parties, the law should be equal for all. Jai Hind!

Respectfully, I have to say this article feels a bit one-sided. It mentions she was questioned and allowed to leave, but the headline makes it sound serious. Media should be more balanced in election coverage.

Hope this doesn't overshadow the real issues in Assam like development and employment. Elections should be about policies, not just these cases. But yes, rules are rules!
