Besides this, another case was registered against Mr Janardhan for using a vehicle without permission and trespassing when police stopped it for checks. Police officials have forwarded information about the thr-ee cases to the EC. Accordi-ng to EC norms, a candidate is permitted to spend Rs.16 lakh in the election, but as per reports, Mr Janard-han’s expenses are over Rs.20 lakh. Political experts say that Mr Janardhan is liable for disqualification, as EC norms. TD leaders are busy consulting legal experts.
