Explain the concept of a 'Code of Conduct' during Indian elections. Mention any two rules that political parties and candidates must follow according to this code.
Answer: A Code of Conduct is a set of norms and guidelines formulated by the Election Commission of India that political parties and candidates must follow during election campaigns. Two key rules under this code are that no party or candidate can use government vehicles, aircraft, or officials for elections, and no places of worship can be used for election propaganda.
Solution
The Model Code of Conduct ensures that a ruling party does not use unfair governmental advantages and that campaigns remain peaceful, fair, and free from communal tensions.
