EC orders removal of PM's pictures from hoardings in poll-bound states

New Delhi, Jan 10 (IBNS) : The Election Commission on Tuesday ordered that pictures of the Prime Minister be removed from all the hoardings in the poll-bound states, reports said.

The poll panel also ordered to remove the pictures of Chief Ministers and other politicians from hoardings in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Goa and Manipur where Assembly elections will be held from February.

The EC order came a day after the Congress approached it calling for removal of hoardings with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's photographs in the five poll-bound states.

The Congress had alleged that this was violation of the Model Code of Conduct which had been in force in those states since the day election dates were announced.
