Chief Election Commissioner Sushil Chandra on Wednesday warned against hate speeches in the run-up to the 2022 state Assembly polls in Goa, adding that social media feeds would be regularly monitored to track hate speeches and action would be taken in such cases.


“We don’t want any hate speeches which vitiate the atmosphere and even social media be monitored and appropriate action will be taken,” said Chandra in Panaji on Wednesday. A Election Commission of India team led by Chandra is in Goa to review preparatory work for the upcoming polls.


Goa Assembly will expire on March 15, 2022 and elections are to be held before that for the state’s 40 constituencies.
