New Delhi: Opposition accused PM on Sunday Narendra Modi Along with shedding “crocodile tears” over women’s reservation, it also stepped up its attack on her for making a “political speech in the guise of addressing the nation”. Highlighting that the Prime Minister “spewed venom” against the opposition for 29 minutes on Doordarshan, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said, “How can the Prime Minister use this platform, funded by taxpayers’ money, to further his political agenda when the Model Code of Conduct is in effect… How does the Election Commission not take suo motu cognizance of the exploitation of government machinery for pure political ends?” Accused of “serious violation” of the code of conduct. He said, “The content, tone and message of the address cannot in any way be termed as government communication. It was clearly political, targeted opposition parties… and sought to influence public opinion, including the voters of Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.” CPI Rajya Sabha MP Sandosh Kumar P also wrote a letter to the CEC demanding an investigation.
