By May 3, the Election Commission of India had cleared Prime Minister Narendra Modi of six charges of Model Code of Conduct violations that were levelled against him. According to a report in The Indian Express, a few of these decisions were not unanimous and the Election Commission overruled its own officers in giving a clean chit to Modi.

Swaraj India President Yogendra Yadav also tweeted a compilation of these cartoons, saying that Chief Election Commission Sunil Arora should have resigned in the wake of this criticism.
