India's Election Commission has initiated an inquiry into complaints lodged against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and opposition leader Rahul Gandhi. The complaints allege violations of the Model Code of Conduct during the ongoing election campaign.
The Election Commission has called for responses from both Modi and Gandhi regarding the complaints filed against them. The complaints accuse Modi of making inflammatory speeches and using religious sentiments for political gain, while Gandhi is accused of violating the code by making false statements.
This move by the Election Commission comes amidst a heated election season in India, with the country gearing up for the upcoming polls. The Model Code of Conduct is a set of guidelines that political parties and candidates must adhere to during elections to ensure fair and ethical campaigning.
Both Modi and Gandhi have been given a deadline to respond to the complaints, after which the Election Commission will review the responses and take appropriate action if necessary. The Commission's decision will play a crucial role in shaping the narrative of the election campaign and could impact the political landscape in India.
As the investigation unfolds, all eyes are on the Election Commission to uphold the integrity of the electoral process and ensure that all parties comply with the rules and regulations set forth for a free and fair election.
