In a sharp political exchange, Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of violating the Model Code of Conduct through an election-oriented speech. Sibal labeled this act as a political low.
Sibal's comments came after Modi's address criticizing Congress over women's rights. The accusations highlight ongoing disputes following the Women's Reservation Bill's defeat.
