Chairman of the Council for Responsible Political Behaviour Dr Bishnu Ragoonath says political parties have adopted a more respectful tone in their platform speeches compared to previous election cycles. However, the Council is concerned about reports of vandalism on the campaign trail.
“We noted, to a large extent, that this election campaign has been cleaner than the past in terms of what was said on the platform, the ground campaign is a different thing altogether. There have been lapses but they have been in the form of language, then there is the vandalism that we have to talk about,” he said.
Dr Ragoonath said members of the Council have been assessing the campaign and will release a detailed report on its findings. A snapshot of the data pointed to concerns about the use of derogatory language among other infractions.
