The Election Commission on Monday received a letter from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) pertaining to the recently-launched NAMO TV.
The party has asked if the BJP had sought an approval for launch of the channel.
The AAP letter asked: “Can permission be granted to a party to have their own TV channel even after the model code of conduct is enforced? If no permission was sought by ECI then what action has been taken?”
“Did BJP approach the Media Certification committee established to certify the contents of the telecast and cost of the telecast? If not, why show cause not issued for the violation of MCC?” said the letter.
The channel has Mr. Modi’s photograph as its logo and it’s runs all his speeches.
The Election Commission is currently examining the letter, said the poll panel’s spokesperson.
