sk
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. The move is aimed at keeping the poll watchdog
abreast itself of the developments amid allegations and counter
allegations being levelled by political parties. 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.
