On Wednesday, the Supreme Court instructed Ajit Pawar’s faction of the Nationalist Congress Party to fight the elections based on their separate identity (NCP) and not to use any photos, videos, or images of Sharad Pawar. The court issued these instructions in compliance with its earlier order asking both sides to maintain their separate identities ahead of the polls.
“Learn to stand on its own legs” and also to maintain the individuality of the parties, Once you have disassociated from Sharad Pawar, you shouldn’t use his name, photo or video,” the apex court said, as quoted by Bar & Bench.
Posting the matter for November 19, the apex court said that it has full faith in the wisdom of voters who know whom to vote for, but the court did not discount the use of artificial intelligence to destroy a level playing field.
