IN the high-stakes world of politics, desperate times often lead to desperate measures, even at the cost of violating the law. Political parties in New Delhi are doing just that, blatantly disregarding the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) by distributing voter slip details on promotional materials during their doorto-door campaigns.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that various voter slips handed out to residents contained sensitive information. These slips listed the voter's name, age, gender, residential address, and the polling booth details where their votes are registered.

This violation isn't limited to a single party. Major political entities, including the BJP, AAP, and Congress, are blatantly engaging in this practice.

Numerous residents reported that party workers approached them with voter slips embedded in campaign materials, urging them to vote.
