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

BJP leaders also raised objections and sought action against Rai by the Election Commission.  

BJP said Rai's act violated the Model Code of Conduct.  

“In case of Narendra Modi, he was speaking to the media with a lotus symbol beyond a prohibited zone of 300-feet which is permissible.

In case of Congress candidate in Kashi, he is inside the booth with a Congress symbol.  

“Would the Election Commission take cognisance of it and take appropriate action or as in the case of Rahul Gandhi, who violated the model code of conduct by fiddling with a voting machine in Amethi, be let off on a fictitious basis? These are important issues,” BJP spokesperson Ravishankar Prasad said in Delhi.

He said the EC should ensure that its approach does not give any indication of discrimination.
