Lok Sabha polls: EC sends notices over PM Modi, Rahul Gandhi speeches

Hindustan Times  

The Election Commission of India on Thursday issued separate notices to the presidents of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress seeking responses by 11am on Monday to complaints of violations of the Model Code of Conduct against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge himself, underlining that campaign speeches of star campaigners need to be judged “at a higher threshold of compliance”. “You are also directed, as president of the national party to bring to the notice of all your star campaigners to set high standards of political discourse and observe provisions of MCC in letter and spirit,” the notice said. It sought a response to the complaint against Rahul Gandhi’s April 18 speech in Kerala in which he had said that Modi was giving speeches advocating an idea for “one nation, one language, one religion”. Congress general secretary in-charge Jairam Ramesh said EC had acted on public pressure over the complaints against Modi, and questioned if the notices to Congress leaders was meant to “compensate” the notice sent to the BJP.
