The BJP on Thursday accused EC of adopting “double standards”, asking why no action was taken against Rahul Gandhi for entering EVM area of polling booths in Amethi when suo motu action of registering an FIR was taken against Narendra Modi for addressing Press near a booth last week.
The BJP feels the EC has not been acting in a “fair and neutral” manner as far as party, particularly its prime ministerial candidate, are concerned. BJP, including Modi, has “genuine grievance” against the EC, said a senior leader on condition of anonymity.
“There is an FIR against Modi, FIR against (TDP leader) Chandrababu Naidu, but no FIR against the Congress leader...Because, the king can do no wrong, says an old saying,” BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu told reporters sarcastically.
