EC warns candidates understating property

EC warns candidates understating property
31 march indian express
Chennai: Chief Electoral Officer Praveen Kumar on Wednesday said action would be initiated against candidates who understated the value of their property, after the polls. He was reacting after a petition was filed by RTI activist V opalakrishnan seeking disqualification of DMK's Virugambakam candidate Dhanasekhar for filing an affidavit which understated properties brought under his wife Vijayakumari's name in Ilayankudi in Sivaganga. He said similarly other properties purchased by the couple were also understated and if this continued, it would set a precedent among candidates to file land value less than the guideline value. When Express contacted Dhanasekhar, he said he would consult his lawyer in this regard ENS
