Election Commission Warnings Issued to Political Parties

The Election Commission of India has warned all the political parties against not asking for votes on the basis of caste or religion. It has warned all the ministers, officials, and candidates not to indulge in any such campaign activity.

The Election Commission Of India has warned all the political parties not to indulge in any kind of means, rallies, and speeches which violate the moral Code of Conduct imposed by the Execution Commission.

Under moral code of conduct, no party can do the Rallies before the elections. No party can accused the other party. No party can spread any kind of hate and no party can gain vote over the issues of caste, community, religion and gender.

Although the various guidelines have been issued by the commission, but it seems no party is following it. Considering the biggest party by MPs ie BJP. It has violated the rules of Election Commission like anything. For eg: the launch of Namo TV on all the DTH without even knowing who the owner of the TV is and without any broadcasting license is strictly against the mandate of the election Commission. The TV is used as a medium to psychologically affect the voters as claimed by the opposition.

The use of phrases by Yogi adityanath describing Indian Army as Modi ji ki Sena is also against the Code of Conduct imposed. But it looks like there is no penalty for violating the norms. Releasing a biopic of Modi is another issue where election commission approached the Supreme Court.

It looks like Election Commision has no power to do anything against the norms violations. That's why every party is seen not following any conduct and are involved in cold war of words.
