The Election Commission has found no violation of the poll code in Niti Aayog sharing data with the prime minister's office on places where PM Narendra Modi was set to campaign for the Lok Sabha elections, reported PTI.

On 1 May, Congress moved the EC against the alleged misuse of the Prime Minister's Office to collect information in advance about the places where Prime Minister Narendra Modi was set to campaign.

Senior Deputy Election Commissioner Sandeep Saxena said the commission has disposed off the complaint as the prime minister is exempted from the provision that bars ministers from combining official visits with campaigning.
