The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday urged the Election Commission of India to act against Rahul Gandhi for his derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A BJP party delegation, which included its general secretary Radha Mohan Das Agarwal and another functionary Om Pathak, also sought the poll Panel to take action against Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, accusing him of falsely claiming that Modi’s caste was included in Gujarat’s OBC list when he was the state chief minister.
BJP in its memorandum said, “The remarks of Kharge and Gandhi, who are indulging in spreading a web of lies, call for initiating criminal proceedings against these offenders and strict action as they have no respect for moral values in their conduct and even for the electoral laws as well as Model Code of Conduct guidelines.”
