Heyya!
The model code of conduct is a set of guidelines laid down by the Election Commission to govern the conduct of political parties and candidates in the run-up to an election. The code is intended to curb the abuse of money and muscle power in elections so that the process of election campaign can be free and fair and give every candidate a fair chance of winning. The various components of the code of conduct are
1. Ministers cannot combine their official visits with election campaigns.
2. They cannot use official machinery of personnel for election related work.
3. Ministers cannot announce any scheme that promise financial gains to people or disburse discretionary grants once elections are announced.
4. All candidates from all political parties need to be given equal access to public places and government controlled media outlets (for example, Doordarshan) for campaigning.
Hope it helps!
