After SC reprimand, EC punishes political bigwigs for MCC violation

Just as the Lok Sabha elections are underway, political leaders are making statements violating the Model Code of Conduct, against which the Election Commission went full throttle on Monday. The poll panel first barred BSP chief Mayawati and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath from campaigning in the Lok Sabha elections for 48 and 72 hours respectively. However, the Election Commission's ire didn't stop here. Later in the day, it barred Union Minister Maneka Gandhi and Samajwadi party leader Azam Khan from campaigning in the Lok Sabha elections for 48 hours and 72 hours respectively.
