Radio speech fine: EC

The Election Commission of India on Friday said it did not find anything in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s radio broadcast called “Man Ki Baat” that violated the electoral model code of conduct. “The audio of the speech under reference and its script have been heard and perused in the Commission. I am directed to state that the Commission did not find anything in the broadcast matter which constituted violation of Model Code of Conduct,” the EC said in response to a complaint filed by the Congress against the broadcast of the programme on All India Radio on October 3.
