No violation of model code: EC on Modi’s radio address

The Election Commission on Friday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s October 3 radio broadcast did not violate the Model Code of Conduct.

In a brief order, the EC told AICC’s Legal Cell Secretary K C Mittal that “the Commission did not find anything in the broadcast matter which constituted violation of Model Code of Conduct.”

The Model Code came into force on September 12 for the October 15 assembly polls in Maharashtra and Haryana.
