After the Election Commission (EC) gave clean chits to two of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speeches which came under their scanner, it has now come to light that the poll panel's decision was reportedly not a unanimous one.

A report by The Indian Express suggests that in both the cases one of the Commissioners had dissented, and the decision went in favour of the PM by a 2-1 majority.

The Congress had lodged complaints with the EC against these speeches, alleging that they amounted to violation of Model Code of Conduct (MCC).
