What did the ex post do Subramaniam Swamy
Subramanian Swamy posted a post on the social media platform X. He wrote in his X post that seven in the morning reached the polling station with his wife and voted for the BJP. The former Union Minister also wrote that the Election Commission has made voting arrangements with scrutiny and efficiency. He has also written that I am expecting BJP’s victory by defeating the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi.
Sidhu told which rules violated
Former Punjab Chief Secretary KBS Sidhu has repaired Swami’s X post and described it as a violation of the rules. KBS Sidhu has said that under Rule 39 of the Polling Operation Rules 1961, the voter is forbidden to publicly tell his choice. It is like an attempt to influence voters on the day of voting on the day of voting in this way.
Describing it as a violation of the ideal code of conduct, he said that there is a 48 -hour silent period on the day of polling and one day before that and during this time efforts are for efforts to influence voters including social media in direct or indirect manner. Such a post is a violation of this on the day of polling.
