How does our elections law regulate …

In a democracy, it is quite obvious to leave any political party and candidates free to conduct an election campaign. But at the same time, it also becomes necessary to regulate campaign in such a way that every political party and candidate gets a fair and equal chance to compete.
According to the laws made on election procedure, no party or candidate can:

1. Bribe or threaten voters to vote for a particular candidate of a political party.
2. Use a place of worship or appeal to the voters to vote in the name of religion or caste.
3. Spend more than Rs. 25 lakh in a constituency for the election to the Lok Sabha and Rs. 10 lakh in a constituency for any Assembly election.
4. Once elections are announced, no minister is allowed to lay the foundation stone of any project or take a decision on any policy of the government.
