Why is special care expected from the ruling party when the model code applies?

Correct answer: Because it may have access to government resources

Direct answer: A is correct because the ruling party may have access to government vehicles, offices, employees, publicity systems, and other public resources. The model code of conduct applies during an election so that the party in power does not use its official position to gain an unfair advantage. Government resources belong to the public, not to one party. Therefore, ministers and ruling-party leaders must separate official government work from election campaigning and must not use public machinery to promote their party. Option A correctly identifies the possible misuse of government resources. B is wrong because members of the ruling party are voters and can vote. C is wrong because the ruling party normally has candidates. D is wrong because the issue is not inability to see voter lists; electoral authorities prepare and manage them under rules. Memory cue: power plus public resources requires extra restraint.
