With the announcement of elections in five states of the country, the model code of conduct also came into force. Now in the five states including Uttar Pradesh, the government will work only in the role of caretaker. The commission will complete the election work and the rest will be handled by the administrative officers. Work on new projects will not start during the election. But there will be no hindrance in the work of the already ongoing development. After the code of conduct is in place, now the real power is in the hands of you i.e. the voters. Voters will decide who to hand over power.
