New Delhi:
Physical election rallies in Madhya Pradesh can be held for now, the Supreme Court said today, putting on hold the Madhya High Court’s move to restrict physical political rallies in nine districts in the state in view of the coronavirus pandemic.
Ahead of the coming by-elections in 28 seats, the Gwalior Bench of the High Court last week asked that magistrates of the districts under its jurisdiction not give permission to any candidate or political party for public gatherings unless they can prove that virtual election campaign is not possible.
