BJP's free coronavirus vaccine promise not violation of poll code, Election Commission says

The Election Commission on Saturday said that it did not find Bharatiya Janata Party's promise of providing free coronavirus vaccine in its Bihar manifesto "violative" of the provisions of the model code. The poll panel said this in response to a complaint by RTI activist Saket Gokhale who had claimed that the promise is discriminatory and a misuse of powers by the central government during elections.
