BJP president J.P. Nadda and Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge have “stoutly” defended before the Election Commission their respective party’s campaigning method and utterances of their star campaigners. They have also sought action by the poll panel on the complaints lodged by their parties against each other during the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
Responding to the show-cause notices issued by Election Commission (EC) to them over complaints of Model Code of Conduct (MCC) violations by their top leaders, Mr. Nadda and Mr. Kharge have made no “explicit denial of facts”, the panel noted.
In separate letters to Mr. Nadda and Mr. Kharge, the commission issued directions to the two national parties asking them not to make utterances on communal lines, not to make statements which give a false impression such as that the Constitution of India may be abolished or sold, and also not to politicise the armed forces. The EC also referred to the responses of the two leaders in its communication to them.
