New Delhi: The Election Commission of India found that Rajasthan Governor Kalyan Singh has violated the model code of conduct over his remarks appealing to the voters that Narendra Modi be given a second term as Prime Minister. The poll body said that it will write to President Ram Nath Kovind to bring the development to his notice. It was not to long back that Kalyan Singh stoked a massive controversy when he referred to himself as a BJP worker and said that everyone wants Narendra Modi to win, as the same was necessary for the country. “We are all BJP workers, so we will want the BJP to win. Everyone will want Modi to become PM again. Modi becoming PM is necessary for the nation and society,” he had told reporters in Aligarh on March 23. Singh’s remark had invited sharp criticism from opposition leaders including Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and hid deputy Sachin Pilot asking him to maintain the dignity of the Governor’s office. The Election Commission then took note of Singh’s remark and sought a factual report from the UP Chief Electoral Officer (CEO). The CEO in his report said that the Governor violated the model code of conduct by seeking another term for PM Narendra Modi.
