Detailed Solution

The following acts are in violation of the election law in India:

Using government vehicles for election campaign

Offering money to voters

Spending 50 lakhs in an election campaign

In order to give every political party and candidate an equal opportunity to participate, campaigning may occasionally need to be regulated. According to the election law, no party or candidate is allowed to use government resources for election campaigns, bribe or threaten voters, appeal to them on the basis of caste or religion, or spend more than Rs. 25 lakh in a constituency for a Lok Sabha election or Rs. 10 lakh in a constituency for an Assembly election. If they do, even after being formally proclaimed elected, the court may nonetheless reject their election.
