The Election Commission (EC) has disqualified MP minister Narottam Mishra for three years over paid news charges, holding him guilty of not giving a true account of expenses incurred in the 2008 assembly polls.


Disqualifying Mishra, a Cabinet minister, from contesting elections for three years following a complaint against him, the EC also used some strong words against paid news, calling it a "cancerous menace" that is assuming "alarming proportions" in the electoral landscape. His election from the Datia Assembly constituency also stands void.
