Use of photographs of former and incumbent CMs in advertisements not illegal, EC tells Madras HC
The Election Commission of India (EC) on Tuesday told the Madras High Court that a recent advertisement campaign carried out by the Tamil Nadu government to showcase its achievements in the last four years did not contain either the election symbol of the AIADMK or the name of the ruling party. Hence, it could not be construed as use of public funds to publicise the party, it said.
