Ahead of the 2024 General Elections, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has issued a warning to political parties to maintain decorum in their public campaigning. The ECI emphasized the importance of issue-based debates and cautioned against making appeals on caste or religious grounds. It specifically warned against ridiculing the relationship between devotees and deities and the misuse of places of worship for political propaganda. The Commission has also highlighted the additional responsibilities placed on star campaigners and candidates under the Model Code of Conduct (MCC), stating that stern action will be taken against both direct and indirect violations of the MCC.
