From May 1991 till 2004, the Congress blamed its present ally the DMK for Shri Rajiv Gandhi's assassination. It even withdrew support from the United Front government on this ground. 28 years later, today a desperate Congress has discovered a BJP role.

From December 1990 till May 1991, when Shri Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated, the Congress Party supported Chandra Shekhar government was in power.

The Kaamdars use India’s Naval assets to strike at terror. The Naamdars use them for personal vacations with family and in-laws.

Saddened by the demise of Prof N.R. Madhava Menon, a legal educator, scholar & jurist. He pioneered five year legal education & law schools in India. I had the privilege of being taught by him. My thoughts are with his family & students. May God render peace to the departed soul.

Expansive reach of MCC may actually run it in the danger of being questioned for its constitutionality in relation to free speech. To avoid such a situation, the memorialist must keep in mind that the Right to Free Speech has not been diluted in any way by the MCC.

Another case relates to the Gandhi Family principle of restrictive free speech. They can call even an honest Prime Minister a ‘Chor.’  However, others don’t possess this right.

In recent cases, where the PM appealed to the first time voters, no party or candidate was mentioned.  In another case, he made a reference to the demographic composition of the new constituency of Congress President. How these speeches are even considered violative of the MCC?

The MCC and the Right to Free Speech have to co-exist. The MCC cannot encroach upon the Right to Free Speech. The two have to exist harmoniously. The Election Commission, therefore, is under an obligation not to dilute or compress Right to Free Speech.

Before submitting memorandums for violation of the MCC in relation to contents of a political speech, everyone must bear in mind that the MCC has to be interpreted in order not to dilute the right to free speech but as subject to Right to Free Speech.

The Right to Free Speech does not get suspended or diluted even during elections. Quite to the contrary, elections are the greatest celebration of Indian democracy.  The sacrosanct Right of Free Speech has to be fully protected during this period.

Of late, a tendency has developed amongst the political parties to excessively allege violation of the MCC by their opponents. In the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, the Congress Party as the ‘Cry Baby’ of this election, is leading the pack.

The Power exercised by the Election Commission under Article 324 cannot relate to areas which are covered by a legislation or regulation but will be confined to areas where legislation does not occupy any space. This principle applies with all force to the MCC.

The Model Code of Conduct (MCC) is an extremely important and powerful instrument available to the Election Commission for the conduct of free and fair elections, which draws its strength from Article 324 of the Constitution of India.

The Congress and its’ President can call an honest Prime Minister ‘Chor’. No Model Code of Conduct is preventing that. If the PM calls the Congress legacy as ‘Corrupt No. 1’ the Congress complains that the Model Code of Conduct is violated. Are there two Model Codes of Conduct?

Today he regards the World’s fastest growing major economy as disastrous.

Dr. Manmohan Singh left behind in 2014 an economic slowdown, policy paralysis and corruption. He brought down his party to lowest ever strength in Parliament. India was a part of the fragile five.

When an Economist turns into a politician, he looses sense of both economy and politics.

Indira Gandhi was also assassinated and yet Congress is questioned about Emergency and Operation Blue Star.
