No appeals to religion, caste, or communal sentiments. Criticism must focus on policies, performance, and programmes, not private lives. Official mass media cannot be used for biased coverage favouring the ruling party. Illegal activities like bribing, intimidation, impersonation, or campaigning near polling stations are prohibited. Processions must follow pre-decided routes, timings, and start/end points. Carrying harmful objects or burning effigies is prohibited. No propaganda, liquor, or crowding near polling booths; camps must remain simple and free of political symbols. Governments cannot use official machinery, funds, or positions for campaigning. No announcements of financial grants, new projects, infrastructure promises, or ad-hoc appointments that could influence voters.
