Amidst mounting pressure from the opposition, the Election Commission has commenced an examination of complaints lodged against a speech delivered by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Rajasthan, where he allegedly suggested that a Congress-led government would prioritize the allocation of resources to the Muslim community. Both the Congress party and the Communist Party of India – Marxist (CPI-M) have filed separate appeals with the election watchdog, urging action against PM Modi’s remarks, which were made during a rally in Banswara, Rajasthan, on Sunday.
