The Congress party has expressed its unhappiness at the clean chit given by the Election Commission to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his speech.
The party has now alleged that it is now crystal clear that the model code of conduct has become the ‘Modi Code of Conduct.
Disappointed that the PM of India is permitted to go scot-free after rampant violation of Article 324 & MCC. There cannot be two sets of laws for Modiji & the rest of the country, party spokesperson Randeep Surjewala tweeted.

The Election Commission had y ruled that Modis speech in Maharashtra’s Wardha, in which he had questioned Rahul Gandhi’s decision to contest from Wayanad in Kerala, did not violate the model code, which is in effect for the Lok Sabha election.
“The matter has been examined in detail in accordance to the extant guidelines/provisions of the Model Code of Conduct, the Representation of the People Act and the report of the Chief Electoral Officer, Maharashtra. Accordingly, the commission is of the considered view that in this matter no such violation has been noticed,” an EC spokesperson said.
