Cong, BJP agree on this point at an interactive session hosted by Federation of Telangana Chambers of Commerce and Industry.

HYDERABAD, May 6 (The CONNECT) – The BJP and Congress parties, known as arch-rivals, made truce for a moment at an interactive session and agreed on MCC–The Model Code of Conduct.  

BJP representative Smt Karuna Gopal and Congress I representative Shyam Mohan Anantula agreed that we need a Moral Code of Conduct and not a Model Code of Conduct.

The two political parties’ representatives were the panellists at an interactive session on “Economy, Industry & Reforms” organised by the 107-year-old Federation of Telangana Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FTCCI), an industry trade body.  

The two representatives along with Ponnala Lakshmaiah of BRS Party were in conversation with Sriram Karri, Resident Editor of Deccan Chronicle at Federation House in Red Hills in the city on Monday evening.

Though the MCC has evolved with the consensus of political parties and helps to ensure the conduct of free and fair elections, the implementation of the same is a herculean task.  

Instead, if it is focused on the Moral Code of Conduct and accordingly parties and candidates’ conduct it will be much better to observed Mohan. Karuna nodded. Sriram, the moderator, happily highlighted the same while the 200-plus audience assembled in the FTCCI Surana Auditorium clapped.

The interactive session was organised in the backdrop of the ongoing general elections.

The moderator, Sriram Karri compared the relationship between the Government and Economy with the relationship of a man and his neighbour’s wife.  They should know each other and stop there. It is called Laissez-faire, which is a policy of minimum governmental interference in the economic affairs of individuals and society.

Then he took two of the three panellists who were born before the Indian Independence and asked how India has been faring. The representatives replied in their style without answering straight to the question.  But, their version summarised that we had a glorious past and doing well now.  

Karuna Gopal listed out Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India); Physical and soft infrastructure development (such as building roads, bringing out policy frameworks etc) and GST.

The Congress representative highlighted the three major policies of his party as setting up Public Sector Undertakings(industrialisation), Jai Jawan Jai Kisan ( and India the tiger uncaged–the reforms of former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao.
