Raising the issue of people receiving PM Modi’s letter on WhatsApp seeking support in building a ‘Viksit Bharat’, opposition leaders on Monday called on the
Election Commission to act against what they said was a “blatant violation” of the model code of conduct.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor tagged a post of a person raising the issue of privacy over the PM’s letter being received by persons living abroad.
“Will the @ECISVEEP take note of such a blatant misuse of government machinery and government data to serve the partisan political interests of the governing party?” Tharoor said. Another Congress MP Manish Tewari posted on X the WhatsApp message which had the letter attached.
