The Delhi High Court dismissed a plea seeking action against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for alleged communal speeches made during the Lok Sabha election campaign. The court held that it cannot micromanage the Election Commission of India (ECI) in its handling of alleged violations of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC). The plea had cited specific speeches made by Modi in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, alleging that they incited communal tensions. However, the court found the plea to be “misconceived” and declined to intervene.
