EC orders removal of PM's pictures from hoardings in poll-bound states
The poll panel also ordered to remove the pictures of Chief Ministers and other politicians from hoardings in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Goa and Manipur where Assembly elections will be held from February.
The EC order came a day after the Congress approached it calling for removal of hoardings with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's photographs in the five poll-bound states.
The Congress had alleged that this was violation of the Model Code of Conduct which had been in force in those states since the day election dates were announced.
