The Election Commission on Thursday issued a notice to the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress, days after the two traded allegations of Model Code violations – hate speech and divisive comments – by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Lok Sabha MP Rahul Gandhi.
The poll panel has sought a response from the heads of their respective parties – the BJP’s JP Nadda and the Congress’ Mallikarjun Kharge – by 11 am Monday, April 29.
