Freebies promised by political parties in their election manifestos
shake the roots of free and fair polls, the Supreme Court on Friday July 5,2013 said and
directed the Election Commission to frame guidelines for regulating
contents of manifestos.
A Bench of Justices, P. Sathasivam and Ranjan Gogoi, said though the
election manifesto is published before the code of conduct comes into
force, the Commission can make an exception by bringing it within code
of conduct.
