As India heads for elections in a week, several questions are being raised about the Election Commission’s decisions on what constitutes a violation of the model code of conduct.

The opposition has raised allegations that the Election Commission has been favouring the government. The war of words reached a new height on Wednesday (April 3) as the Congress approached the EC over NaMo TV as it was violative of the model code of conduct.

NaMo TV carries the picture of Modi as its logo. It was launched on March 31, nearly two weeks after the Model code of conduct came into effect and ahead of Lok Sabha polls beginning April 11.

Opposition parties including the Congress, have also raised questions on the release of the biopic on PM Modi before elections. The opposition has alleged the film will give undue advantage to the BJP in electioneering and its release should be deferred till the elections are over.

The Bombay High Court on Monday (April 1) had said the EC will deal with the release of the biopic. The EC had said the release of the PM Modi biopic does not constitute a violation of the model code of conduct and it will.
