The Election Commission of India — an autonomous body tasked with overseeing the world’s biggest democratic exercise — said the online web series was in violation of its rules. The series, titled ‘Modi: Journey of a Common Man’ is produced by Eros Now and traces Modi’s journey from childhood to becoming the prime minister of the world’s largest democracy. Earlier this month, the commission banned the release of a flattering movie about Modi until after voting finishes. The Election Commission said NaMo TV had to submit all of its content for approval. The election commission — often accused of being ineffective — has been flooded with complaints since campaigning started in March.
