CPI (M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury on Wednesday, 22 May, said the EC “directive” does not address critical complaints and accused the poll panel of handling “grievous” poll code violations with “kid gloves”. Yechury said, “None of the issues raised against the incendiary communal speeches of Modi and other BJP leaders have been addressed by ECI in today’s directive.”
