உத்தரவிட்டுள்ளது.

EC asks Alagiri to reimburse expenses to government
J. Balaji NEW DELHI: The Election Commission (EC) has directed Union Chemicals and Fertilizers Minister M.K. Alagiri to reimburse the expenditure incurred on any government facilities such as airfare from Delhi to Chennai and back, road transport, boarding and lodging facilities he availed himself during his visit to Chennai and Madurai early this month. It has cautioned him to be careful in future and not violate the model code of conduct.
The EC found his reply to the show cause notice sent to him earlier “not satisfactory” in as much that the letter of the (Chemical and Fertilizers Minister's Secretary) to the Commission on March 3 was a post-facto intimation and did not mention that the visit of Mr. Alagiri to Chennai was of such urgency that it could not be avoided in public interest.
‘We took lenient view'
But the EC considered the written submission made by Mr. Alagiri that as a first-time MP, he was not aware of all the nitty-gritty of the procedures and that such lapses would not happen in future. Hence it decided to take a lenient view in the matter.
The EC issued notice to the Minister for violating the code by visiting Madurai on March 4 and “indulging in political activities” after going to Chennai on an official visit to review the functioning of the CIPET on March 3.
Alagiri's reply
The Minister, in his reply, claimed that his department could not give prior intimation of his visit to Chennai because of the fact that March 2 was a holiday (Shivratri) and, therefore, a letter was issued on 3rd of March, 2011 stating that the visit was purely official and could not be avoided in public interest. His visit to Madurai was due to “unexpected personal political exigencies” and was not a pre-scheduled one. He said it was not brought to his notice by his office that the Model Code of Conduct had come into immediate effect.
Unacceptable: EC
For this, Commission said this could not be accepted as “this fact [of model code in force] was clearly mentioned in the press note issued by the EC on March 1 and which was also published and reported in the press and in the news broadcasts made by various TV channels.”

EC asks Alagiri to reimburse expenses incurred on TN visit
NEW DELHI: The Election Commission on Saturday directed Union chemicals and fertilisers minister M K Alagiri to reimburse the expenditure incurred on his recent visit to poll-bound Tamil Nadu in violation of the model code of conduct.
Cautioning the senior DMK leader to be "more careful" in future, the EC said in its order that the expenditure on airfare from New Delhi to Chennai and back, road transport, board and lodging availed by him during his visits to Chennai and Madurai be reimbursed to the government.
The EC said the minister himself admitted that he combined his official visit to Chennai with a personal visit to Madurai for political activities, which amounted to violation of the code.
"The commission has nevertheless taken into consideration the submission made by him that as a first-time MP, he was not aware of all the nitty-gritty of the procedure and that such lapses would not happen in future," it said and added that the commission decided to take a "lenient view" in the matter.
The commission said it was not satisfied with his reply that his visit to Madurai was due to "unexpected personal political exigencies" and was not pre-scheduled one, and also that his office did not bring to his notice that the model code had come into immediate effect.
The EC had issued a show cause notice to Alagiri for violating the model code by clubbing his official visit to Chennai but indulged in political activities in his home district Madurai.
