The Election Commission of India — variously called the Election Commission, the ECI or EC — was set up in 1950 as an autonomous constitutional authority responsible for carrying out election processes in India. It administers elections to the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, State Legislative Assemblies, and the offices of the President and Vice President.
Headquartered in Delhi, the Election Commission consists of three members — a chief election commissioner and two other commissioners — who are appointed by the President. They have a tenure of six years or until they reach the age of 65 years, whichever is earlier. The Election Commission prepares, maintains, and updates the electoral roll; supervises the nomination of candidates; registers political parties and classifies them on national and state levels; and monitors election campaigns, including political fund-raising.
Thankfully the EC didn’t say that it Congress and other opposition who have violated Model Code by asking explanation from PM Modi and his government.
He did not violate the MCC. Period.

The above news is from The Print. It clearly says the video was shot by DD!
EC’s statement is no surprise, but what is worrying is the logic they have put out! It clearly indicates, the PMO will use this logic for more such Addresses – until the election day!
As long as he does not violate the MCC, it would not matter how many such addresses he made to the nation.
