Mission Shakti: Mayawati accuses PM Modi of violating poll code

In a series of tweets, BSP chief Mayawati slammed the Prime Minister Narendra Modi for announcing Mission Shakti while model code of conduct is in place for the upcoming Lok Sabha election. The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said in a tweet, “Previous experience proves that like law & order, BJP leaders are habitual offenders in violating Model Code of Conduct. And PM Mr Modi again flouted poll norms by addressing the country without prior permission of EC though there was no such emergency. Hope the EC acts promptly.”
