M.A. Baby, the general secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of violating the Model Code of Conduct by addressing the nation through official media channels such as Doordarshan and Akashvani. During a press conference in Kollam, Kerala, Baby stated that while the Prime Minister is entitled to campaign in states like West Bengal and Tamil Nadu, utilizing government-owned media for political purposes is prohibited under Section 4 of the Model Code of Conduct. In response to this issue, the CPI(M) has filed a formal complaint with the Election Commission of India, highlighting the importance of maintaining fair electoral practices. The complaint comes as the country prepares for elections, underscoring the need for compliance with established regulations.
