Congress: Election Commission saving Modi's Sinking Ship

Gujarat Dec 14: Due to offering support and mending rules for BJP the Congress has attacked Election Commission and said that "the sinking ship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's campaign is being saved by the poll panel"

In Ahmedabad, the party also filed a complaint with the EC against Modi for allegedly violating the model code of conduct by holding a "roadshow" even as voting in the second phase of Gujarat elections was underway.

Later in the day, Congress workers marched to the Election Commission to protest against Modi's roadshow. They were stopped by the police outside Sardar Patel Bhawan near Patel Chowk in Delhi and many were detained.

"The Election Commission of India has set different standards for the BJP and the Congress. What is the reason for the poll panel to behave like a frontal organisation of BJP," asked Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala at a press conference in New Delhi.

The Election Commission has issued a notice to Rahul Gandhi for his interview before elections but has not issued any notice to Modi for roadshow while voting was in process.
