 "Cong asks EC to direct Gujarat govt to act neutrally against Modi")
With an aim of ensuring that Narendra Modi is not let off, Congress today asked the Election Commission to direct Gujarat government to act neutrally on the alleged election model code of conduct violation by him.
Modi has "shred into pieces" the model code, Congress General Secretary Ajay Maken told reporters here.
He said displaying BJP's election symbol 'Lotus' and making a speech after casting his vote in Gandhinagar is a "big violation" of electoral law.
Another General Secretary Shakeel Ahmed said that Modi is a "habitual and serial violator" of the model code.
He said that a wrong impression will go around if the Commission failed to take action against the BJP PM candidate.
