Election Commission has directed the government to remove the pictures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Cabinet colleague M Venkaiah Naidu from the website of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna. The commission ruled that it is a violation of model code of conduct.<br/><br/> The poll panel's decision came after it received a complaint that the pictures on the website are promoting BJP in Uttar Pradesh, where assembly polls are on. The Commission has asked the Cabinet Secretary P K Sinha why this was not done before, when the model came into force. It also asked him to ensure that websites of other ministries and departments should not contain such photographs.<br/>The poll panel also recalled its earlier directions that references of ministers and politicians be removed from central government websites to ensure that the party in power does not get advantage of any kind in the assembly elections.
