New Delhi: The Assembly polls are around the corner and as part of state funding, the Election Commission is allotting campaigning airtime to various political parties.
On Thursday, the EC alloted airtime through Doordarshan and All India Radio in Manipur, Punjab and Uttarakhand Assembly polls.
Congress, which is in power in all the three states, would get 160 minutes each in television and radio in Manipur, 175 minutes each in Punjab and 185 minutes each in Uttarakhand.
The NCP would get 100 minutes in Manipur, Akali Dal would get 165 minutes in Punjab and BJP would get 185 minutes in Uttarakhand.
An additional 45 minutes would be given to each national party and recognised state party on the television and radio network in the three states. Based on the performance of the parties in the last Lok Sabha and Assembly polls, the EC would allot extra airtime to parties.
The period of broadcast and telecast would be between the last date of filing the nominations and would end two days before the date of poll in these states.
