CPI MP Alleges Modi MCC Violation

CPI MP P. Santhosh Kumar has formally accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) through a recent address to the nation. Kumar alleges that Modi's speech, delivered during ongoing elections in five states, was political in nature and aimed at influencing public opinion. He further claims that the broadcast of this address on public platforms like India===Doordarshan and India===Sansad TV constitutes a misuse of state resources and a grave breach of electoral norms. Kumar has written to Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, urging the India===Election Commission of India to initiate an inquiry and take prompt action to preserve the sanctity of the electoral process. The controversy stems from Modi's speech where he criticized opposition parties, including the India===Indian National Congress, India===Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, India===Trinamool Congress, and India===Samajwadi Party, for blocking the Women's Reservation Bill.
