The Election Commission on Thursday directed the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to stop the message delivery of Viksit Bharat on WhatsApp immediately. Also, the EC asked for the submission of the compliance report.
The commission had received multiple complaints alleging that even after the general elections of 2024 were announced and the model code of conduct (MCC) went into effect, residents were still receiving these kinds of Bharat messages on WhatsApp promoting the government’s policies.
MeitY informed the commission that it had sent the letters before the MCC took effect, but network and system issues may have delayed their delivery to some recipients.
The commission took action to ensure a level playing field.
