The BJP on Monday, April 1, urged the Election Commission to take the “strictest action” against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for the “match-fixing” remarks and other comments he made during an INDIA bloc rally here a day ago.
He had accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of trying to do “match-fixing” in the Lok Sabha polls and warned that if the BJP wins the election through this endeavour and ‘changes’ the Constitution, then the whole country would be ‘finished.’
The public meeting was aimed at highlighting the issue of “attack on democracy” including the alleged misuse of agencies against opposition leaders in the aftermath of the arrest of AAP chief Kejriwal and JMM leader Hemant Soren and income tax notices to parties.
A BJP delegation comprising Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri and the party’s national general secretary Arun Kumar lodged the complaint against Gandhi with the poll panel.
Addressing the media after meeting Election Commission officials, Puri said the former Congress chief’s comments during the public meeting were “extremely objectionable” as they are not just in violation of the model code of conduct but could have serious implications.
