Election Commission sources confirmed that they will review a complaint from opposition parties regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address to the nation, which they claim violated the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) for elections. The complaint, initiated by left parties, alleges that Modi's speech on Saturday misused the public broadcaster, Doordarshan, to sway public opinion in states where elections are imminent. Polling has already occurred in Assam, Kerala, and Puducherry, with upcoming votes scheduled for Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. The MCC, which came into effect on March 15, aims to ensure free and fair elections and will remain in place until May 4, the date for counting votes. CPI(M) General Secretary MA Baby and CPI Rajya Sabha MP P Sandosh Kumar emphasized that the prime minister's use of a public platform for political messaging undermines the electoral process. Modi's address criticized the Congress party for its opposition to a bill aimed at increasing women's representation in legislatures, asserting that the government remains committed to empowering women despite recent legislative setbacks.
