New Delhi: The Congress on Saturday slammed the Election Commission (EC) for remaining silent over the alleged violation of the model code of conduct by PM Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah.
Senior Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi said, "The EC has taken action against several leaders for violating the model code of conduct. We appreciate that they have even taken action against UP CM Yogi Adityanath and Himachal Pradesh BJP chief. But why was any action not taken against PM Modi and Amit Shah?"
Taking a jibe at the EC, he called it 'Election Omission' and wondered whether PM Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah were outside the ambit of the model code of conduct, which he dubbed as the 'Modi code of conduct'.
He alleged that the two leaders had violated the poll code under three categories: polarisation of votes, invoking armed forces in campaigns and taking out rallies on an election day.
Senior Congress leader said that they would approach the courts seeking action against PM Modi and the BJP president over an alleged repeated violation of the model code of conduct.
