Days ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections, the Congress party on Monday moved the Election Commission (EC) against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for comparing the party manifesto with the Muslim League.
Taking to X, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said that a party delegation met with the Election Commission and presented and argued as many as six complaints, including two against the Prime Minister.
He said the complaint has been filed against the Prime Minister’s absurd claim that the Congress Nyay Patra is attempting to divide the country and imposing the pre-independence ideology of the Muslim League.
A delegation of former Union Minister Salman Khurshid, Rajya Sabha MP Mukul Wasnik, Pawan Khera and Gurdeep Sappal met officials of the poll body on Monday afternoon at the Nirvachan Sadan.
The Congress also filed a complaint against the “continued use of Armed Forces in election campaigning by the BJP in violation of the MCC… despite previous instances of use of Armed Forces in political campaigning by the BJP being duly raised before this Hon’ble Commission”.
Another complaint was filed against Union Minister and BJP’s Thiruvananthapuram candidate Rajeev Chandrasekhar “for allegedly giving false information pertaining to his financial status in his election affidavit”.
The Congress leaders further raised the party’s complaint against the “life-size hoardings and banners of the PM installed in various colleges of the Delhi University under the ‘Viksit Bharat @ 2047: Voice of Youth Campaign’”, stating that it violates provisions of the Model Code of Conduct.
