Amit Shah was caught on camera instigating people to take revenge of the insult through ballot. His statement raised a lot of hue and cry and even the Election Commission issued him a show cause notice and barred him from campaigning in the state.

Interestingly, Amit Shah expressed regret for his statement after EC expressed its unhappiness over his language. Amit Shah said that may be he had said things in the heat of the moment.

EC took a lenient view of  Amit Shah statement  and lifted the ban that it had imposed on his addressing rallies in the state. This created another political controversy as the EC did not lift the ban on UP minister and senior SP leader Azam Khan who had also made provocative speeches in the run-up to the general elections.
 
Azam Khan went to the extent of accusing EC of being partial to Amit Shah.
