‘Tell your star campaigners … ‘: EC to Congress, BJP

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has directed Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) president JP Nadda and Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge to issue formal notes to star campaigners to correct their discourse, exercise care and maintain decorum. This is the Commission’s unprecedented orders to the BJP and Congress in the wake of plummeting quality of campaigning led by their star campaigners. The EC has come down heavily on both the BJP and the Congress for campaigning along caste, community, language, and religion.
