Delhi: The Election Commission (EC) will hold a meeting of various political parties on Monday for framing guidelines on 'freebies' in election manifestos following directions of the Supreme Court.
According to television reports, the commission will seek the opinion of various parties before making rules to regulate allurements in election manifestos.
The guidelines are being framed after Supreme Court asked the Election Commission on July 5 to frame guidelines about such promises announced by political parties. While disposing of a special leave petition challenging
the freebies, the apex court had said that there is no enactment that directly governs the contents of the election manifesto.
