On Wednesday, the Congress party alleged that Modi was trying to “circumvent” the silence period restrictions with his meditation trip to Kanniyakumari, and urged the Election Commission to ensure that it is not aired by the media as it violates the model code of conduct. A delegation of Congress leaders Randeep Surjewala, Abhishek Singhvi and Syed Naseer Hussain met the Election Commission and handed over a memorandum in this regard, as well as 27 other complaints of alleged violation of model code of conduct.
“Through the meditation trip, Narendra Modi is attempting to circumvent the 48-hour silence period and unfairly leverage the ethnocultural significance of the chosen location in an attempt to bolster his campaign and maximise his vote share in violation of the Representation of the People Act, as well as Model Code of Conduct,” the party also said. They argued that PM could start his meditation after 24-48 hours, or from the evening of June 1.
