A significant development unfolded as a plea was lodged before the Delhi High Court, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of violating the Model Code of Conduct during a recent speech in Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh. The petitioner seeks a severe penalty, urging for a six-year ban on Prime Minister Modi’s participation in elections.
