The Congress party has filed an official complaint with the Election Commission (EC), accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah of using divisive rhetoric in their recent speeches. According to Congress leaders, these statements allegedly aim to polarize voters and disrupt communal harmony ahead of key elections.
Allegations of Violating Election Conduct
In its complaint, Congress alleges that Modi and Shah’s speeches violate the EC’s Model Code of Conduct, which mandates fair and respectful campaigning. Congress has requested the EC to take strict action, stating that these speeches risk inflaming religious and social divides among the electorate.
Call for Election Commission Intervention
The party is urging the EC to take swift measures to prevent further instances of what they call “inflammatory language.” Congress representatives have stressed the need for accountability and adherence to election regulations to ensure a fair democratic process.
BJP Responds to Allegations
Responding to the allegations, BJP leaders have dismissed the complaint as an attempt to deflect attention from Congress’s own campaign challenges. BJP spokespersons argue that Modi and Shah’s speeches focus on development and national security, not division.
Growing Tensions Ahead of Election Season
As election season intensifies, the complaint highlights rising political tensions between India’s major parties. With the EC now involved, the outcome of this complaint could set a precedent for handling accusations of divisive campaigning in future elections.
