PM Modi's roadshow "violation of code of conduct", says P Chidambaram
"Allowing a roadshow of PM on voting day is a gross violation of code of conduct. It is an election campaign. What is the EC doing?" former Finance Minister and Congress leader P Chidambaram tweeted. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after casting his vote in Ahmedabad in the Gujarat assembly election 2017, had gone out to meet supporters who were chanting "Modi, Modi". PM Modi has run a high-decibel campaign for the BJP in Gujarat, while the Congress campaign was led by party president-elect Rahul Gandhi.
"PM Modi's road show after casting vote is a clear case of violation of the model code of conduct. EC it seems is working under pressure from PM and PMO," Ashok Gehlot of the Congress said, news agency ANI reported.
