The Election Commission of India on Tuesday issued an advisory to all the star campaigners and National and State Parties and candidates to restrain from creating utterances during campaigning ahead of the Karnataka Assembly Elections slated for May 10.

ECI warned the political parties and candidates and asked them to exercise caution during campaigning.

In a press release, the Election Commission asked the parties and stakeholders to remain within the confines of the Model Code of Conduct and the legal framework in their utterances while campaigning so as to maintain the dignity of the political discourse and not to vitiate the campaign and the election atmosphere.
