Breach of Code of Conduct

I would like to mention the following irregularities/ breach of model code of conduct observed at Chengannur where a bye election is due next week.
As per the directives of the commission no official machinery is to be used for electioneering. However it s observed that almost all ministers of the government of Kerala are in Chengannur canvassing vote for the LDF candidate. Similarly many central ministers have visited or are slated to visit the constituency seeking vote for BJP candidate. This act is clear violation of the code of conduct on the following two counts:
The ministers use their official vehicles for travel to Chengannur for the electioneering, even though they do not have any official engagements in the place and hence travel by official car tantamount to misuse of official position. 
During the campaigns the ministers do make lot of promises which, coming from the ministers, may be construed as the stand of the government and the voters may consider as a promise from govt which may influence their voting pattern.
In view of the above I urge upon the Election Commission of India to instruct all state and central ministers from visiting the constituency for electioneering, failing which the whole process will become vitiated and liable for cancellation.
An urgent action is needed
