“We have seen the video. We have informed the Special Election Observer and the higher authorities. Action would be taken immediately,” Yadav said.

Kumar said that flashing of election symbol at the booth is violation of Section 130 of the Representation of People Act.

Rai, along with his family members, this morning went to cast his vote wearing a badge of Congress election symbol ‘hand' on his kurta.

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 Gandhinagar.
