The Election Commission of India (ECI) on March 2 directed all the district magistrates and superintendents of police to take strong action against officials, who are indulging in favouritism.
The poll body's move comes in a bid to ensure "temptation free (prahlohan-mukt)" Lok Sabha elections and provide a level-playing field to all the political parties.
Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar said that directions have been issued to all the District Magistrates and SPs to ensure level playing field for all the political parties, and to take strong action against those officials indulging in favouritism.
