The Election Commission has started monitoring even the press conferences of political parties in addition to the public meetings and rallies. Representatives from poll panel will attend press conferences to check what is spoken there and if anything may be violative of the Model Code of Conduct.

Delhi’s Chief Electoral Officer Chandra Bhushan Kumar said that the idea is that when someone complains, we also have evidence with us to verify the allegations.
