New Delhi: Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday took strong objection to the telecast of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s activities in Kedarnath and Badrinath, saying it was a “clear violation” of the election Model Code of Conduct as voters could be influenced during the last phase of Lok Sabha polls and attacked the Election Commission for being a “mute spectator”.
The Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister also demanded action against the Prime Minister for talking about “betting” during his press conference, saying it amounted to promotion of the unlawful activity.
In a letter to the Election Commission, he said Modi’s all private activities during his visit to Badrinath and Kedarnath were being telecast on news channels continuously, which is “a clear violation of Model Code of Conduct and comes under indirect canvassing, influencing the voters through a person’s religious belief and public display of his personal religious activities”.
