Ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections, the Election Commission (EC) has asked state governments to take down all unauthorised political advertisements from government, public and private properties. The poll body also asked them to send a compliance report in the next 24 hours.
In a letter to the Union Cabinet Secretary and the chief secretaries of all states and union territories, the EC said that despite its letter issued on March 16 when the model code of conduct (MCC) came into force, it has received complaints alleging that unauthorised political advertisements are still being displayed in many places across the country.
Besides, targeting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi drew a parallel between startups and politics. Addressing the Startup Mahakumbh, one of thhe first large congregation of startups, the Prime Minister said many people try to launch political startups but the difference between them and the original startups is the latter's thrust for new ideas.
"Many people try to 'launch' startups, especially in politics, sometimes multiple times... The difference between you and them is that you're experimental. You try new ideas after the failure of one launch," the prime minister said, in his initial remarks. Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir in 2023 and the latest Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra from Imphal to Mumbai which culminated this week are seen as a rebranding of the Congress leader and to portray him as the face of the principal Opposition party ahead of the General elections, reported ANI.

Amit Shah hits out at Rahul Gandhi over 'Shakti' remark
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday responded to Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Shakti’ remarks and said that the Congress leader knows nor respects our tradition.
“He (Rahul Gandhi) does not know what he is doing. Women power in this country stands like a rock with PM Modi. Nari Shakti has decided that this time they will show Rahul Gandhi their true strength in the elections. Rahul Gandhi neither knows nor respects our traditions. Maa Shakti has been considered the greatest power in our country for thousands of years. There can be no greater blessing than the blessings of a mother and no greater affection than the affection of a sister,” he said.
