NEW DELHI: A legal action has been initiated in the Delhi High Court, aiming to hold Prime Minister Narendra Modi accountable for purported breaches of the model code of conduct (MCC).

The allegation centers on claims that the Prime Minister, in a speech delivered in Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh on April 9, solicited votes in the name of religious entities and places of worship, specifically referencing

“Hindu deities and Hindu place of worships as well as Sikh deities and Sikh place of worship”

-ahead of the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections. This petition was lodged by Anand S Jondhale, who argues that such appeals constitute a clear violation of the MCC.

The primary request of Jondhale’s petition is for the disqualification of PM Modi from participating in elections for a period of six years, citing this alleged infringement as the basis.

The model code of conduct is a set of guidelines issued by the Election Commission of India to ensure fair and free elections, including stipulations against exploiting religion for electoral gain.

This plea places the spotlight on the essential democratic principles of neutrality and impartiality in the electoral process, challenging actions that potentially undermine these values.
