Ahead of the Assembly elections in the national Capital, the Election Commission has started monitoring even the Press conferences by various political parties, in addition to public meetings and rallies. The AIIC briefing on Wednesday cleared that EC representatives will now attend Press conferences to check what is spoken there and if anything is violating the Model Code of Conduct.
Congress general secretary Ajay Maken, addressing the media, said the party has been told that a representative from the EC would attend all briefings. Sources said the EC is already monitoring political meetings, rallies and roadshows.
