With the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress accusing each other’s senior leaders of violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) implemented ahead of the Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2024 and Jharkhand polls, the Election Commission (EC) on Saturday sought responses from both the chiefs: JP Nadda and Mallikarjun Kharge.

According to news agency ANI, the EC has asked both the party presidents to comment on the complaints lodged against their respective star campaigners, attaching the complaints in its communication to them. The BJP had filed a complaint against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, while the opposition party had raised concerns about the remarks made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior leader Amit Shah.
