Lok Sabha elections 2024: EC takes cognisance of MCC violation by Modi, Rahul; seeks response by April 29
PTI, Apr 25, 2024, 12:43 PM IST
The Election Commission of India on Thursday announced that it had taken cognisance of violations to the Model Code of Conduct by both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
While Modi has indulged in a diatribe against Muslims, without naming them, using terms like ‘infiltrators’ and ‘those with more children’, Rahul has been accused of making a false claim about ‘rise in poverty’.
Both the BJP and INC have raised allegations of causing hatred and divisions based on caste, religion, language, and community, ANI reported.
While the EC had initially refused to comment on Modi’s speeches, sources had told PTI that the commission was ‘looking into’ the remarks made by the BJP leader.
The ECI has sought response from both by 11 am on April 29.
