Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Model Code of Conduct (MCC) for the ensuing election may come into force from this week.
Keeping that in mind, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan will virtually inaugurate and lay the foundation of several projects across the state on October 6.
To discuss the issue, a cabinet meeting will be held at 9pm on Wednesday. This is considered to be the last meeting of the cabinet before the enforcement of the MCC, so all pending cases may be discussed at the meeting.
In 2018, the election dates were declared on October 6, so the MCC may come into force anytime after October 6.
A team of the Election Commission will return to Delhi on October 5 after visiting Telangana. A meeting of elections observers will be held and the dates for the election declared after it.
