The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress Party have requested additional time to respond to notices issued by the Election Commission of India (ECI) regarding alleged violations of the Model Code of Conduct by their leaders. The BJP, led by party president J.P. Nadda, asked for a one-week extension to address the complaint against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, citing that the PM speaks 'on basis of facts', while the Congress, represented by Mallikarjun Kharge, sought 15 more days to reply to a similar notice concerning Rahul Gandhi, due to a hectic election campaign. These requests come amid the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
