Model Code of Conduct

Sitaram Yechury, General Secretary of Communist Party of India (Marxist), has written the following letter to the Chief Election Commissioner, Election Commission of India demanding withdrawal of the proposed amendment to the Model Code of Conduct. We are herewith releasing the text of the letter for publication.

Dear Shri Rajiv Kumar ji,

This is with reference to the Commission’s letter dated October 4, 2022 regarding the amendment to the Model Code of Conduct on promises made in election manifestos.

It is strange that the Election Commission has announced the date of election for Himachal Pradesh Assembly while withholding  the announcement of date for Gujarat Assembly elections.
