Communist Party of India (CPI) General Secretary D. Raja urged the Election Commission of India (EC) to ensure strict enforcement of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) in Bihar, following the murder of Dularchand Yadav in Mokama.

Mr. Raja, who is in the State to campaign for the upcoming Assembly election stressed the need for peaceful and fair polls. He said, violence must be prevented to uphold democratic integrity.
