Code of conduct doesn't apply to national security issues. Not sure what Mr. Gupta is implying here.

> Code of conduct doesn't apply to national security issues

You realize that nobody is fooled right? Everyone except for Modi's supporters sees through this

That's not what I am doing here. You can read it yourself: https://m.economictimes.com/news/elections/lok-sabha/india/i...

I'm not about aware about any change in the Code of Conduct since the EC made that statement. Correct me if I am wrong.

Shooting down your own satellite isn't an "issue of national security."

And the question isn't whether it is permissible, but rather was it an obvious opportunistic move? The answer to the latter is yes to pretty much all of the outside observers.

They shot the satellite with a "missile". And it was a demonstration of what we would do when a spy satellite hovers above us during "wartime". The PM in his address clearly said that this successful test makes "India" more "secure". Considering all this, it pretty much qualifies to be a national security issue to me.

I don't know.

Why don't you register a complaint with ECI and take BJP to court? Any lawyer worth their salt will reject to take your case unless they like losing. I am sure now you will attack the Indian judiciary and how BJP has "compromised" that as well. There is no end to this kind of BS argument. Just be happy for India.
