According to the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) guidelines of the Election Commission, government is not allowed to use official events or public-funded platforms to give themselves an unfair advantage over the opponents. This was reason behind the temporary hault of PM's ‘Mann Ki Baat’

“Although Mann Ki Baat is a program of the people for the people, of the people and by the people but maintaining political decorum, ‘Mann Ki Baat’ won’t be broadcast for the next three months given upcoming Lok Sabha polls”, PM Modi said in the last aired episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’.
