The TMC alleged that PM Modi s photo on certificate issued to those who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 violates the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) currently in effect in poll-bound states.
The MCC comes into force from the day the poll panel announces the schedule for election and remains into effect until results are declared.
