Delhi EC to keep tab on political activities ahead of Holi

March 13, 2014 23:00

Delhi Election Commission will keep a tab on activities by political parties ahead of the festive season, for any violations of the Model Code of Conduct.

"No political parties can use a festival or a religious occasion to further their political interest or as a means of campaign.

"In such occasion if a candidate puts a poster, photos, cut-outs, or holds a stage programme or gives speech, the entire expense will be added in his/her expenditure account," Chief Nodal Officer Ankur Garg, said.

If any political party distributes any thing to people for free, it is a violation of the model code of conduct.
