Other parties also attacked the Gujarat chief minister for his conduct with AAP calling him a ‘habitual offender'.

The Commission had got into action and directed authorities in Gujarat to file FIR against the Modi.

“The Commission is of the view that by holding that meeting and also by addressing the same today when the polling is going on in the entire state of Gujarat and in different parts of the country, Narendra Modi has violated the provisions of Sections 126 (1)(a) and 126 (l)(b) of Representation of People Act, 1951.

“Therefore, the Commission directs...that complaint/FIR as the case may be, should be filed against Narendra Modi and all others who were involved in the convening and holding of the said meeting...,” the EC order said.

In its order, the EC also said that all the TV channels and other electronic media which carried the proceedings of the meeting should also be proceeded against under Section 126 (l) (b) “by filing separate complaints/FlRs against those channels.”
