MEMORANDUM
Ref: 0043A/2019
To,
Dear Sirs,
I.
On April 10th 2019, ‘Scroll.in’ an online news portal conducted an
investigation that revealed outrageous and egregious corrupt practices
being carried out allegedly by the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi
through the Central Government’s organization the ‘Niti Aayog’.

The investigation cited an email by Pinky Kapoor, Economic Officer
(Coordination of states) of ‘Niti Aayog’ which was addressed to the
Adviser to the Administrator, Chandigarh, the Chief Secretary of Delhi
and the Chief Secretary of Puducherry, among others and required all
the abovementioned Officers to provide the Prime Minister’s Office
with ‘Write–ups’ about destinations Mr. Narendra Modi was
carrying/had carried out rallies in to campaign the for General
Elections 2019.
II.
The Prime Minister, Narendra Modi on numerous occasions has
blatantly violated this Hon’ble Commission’s Orders. However, the
abovementioned violation is not a mundane violation but an outrageous
one and calls for immediate investigation by the relevant authorities.

expression “agent” includes an election agent, a

III.
The Prime Minister has time and again undermined the sanctity of
our electoral laws and the authority of this Hon’ble Commission. No
previous Prime Minister has been so blatantly defiant in his or her
approach to electoral laws designed to prevent misuse of Government
resources in campaigning.

In light of the abovementioned, we request this Hon’ble Commission
to utilize its powers under Article 324 of the Constitution and pass
immediate directions to the relevant authorities to prevent the Prime
Minister from misusing any of the Government officials or agencies,
including but not limited to the Niti Aayog, for campaign purposes.
Warm regards,
