Ajay Rai lands in trouble over symbol flashing; EC orders enquiry

He, however, defended his action saying that he has the right to wear the symbol as a candidate.  

Rai also claimed that the case against Narendra Modi cannot be compared with his action as the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate had shown his lotus symbol after casting vote in Gandhi Nagar.

On April 30, BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate had courted trouble after he flashed his party's symbol lotus while taking a “selfie”, and made a speech after casting his vote in Gandhinagar in Gujarat.

Modi is also fighting Lok Sabha elections from Varanasi.  

Another candidate Arvind Kejriwal of AAP also raised objections about Rai wearing ‘hand' badge on the polling booth and said this was not fair.
