Congress asks EC why no action against PM Modi

New Delhi, December 14: The Congress has lashed out at the Election Commission of India after it ordered action against Rahul Gandhi and TV channels airing his interview for violating the Model Code of Conduct in force in Gujarat, here on Thursday.

"If FIR against news channels for showing interview of Congress President, why no FIR against PM, FM, Union Minister & BJP President on this ground? Are these not double standards? Let there be accountability," tweeted senior party leader Randeep Surjewala.

"PM Modi, BJP president Amit Shah, finance minister Arun Jaitley and railway minister Piyush Goyal have violated Model Code of Conduct again and again. PM Modi misused the FICCI platform to attack Congress. EC should stay unbiased," said a Congress delegation led by Ashok Gehlot at the EC office in Delhi.



The Election Commission has also instructed Chief Electoral Officer of Gujarat BB Swain to file a First Information Report against the television channel which aired the interview a day before the second phase of the Assembly elections.

Earlier PM Modi had casted his vote in the Gujarat Assembly election .
