 "JD(U) flays Modi for questioning EC")
JD(U) President Sharad Yadav today criticised Narendra Modi for questioning the Election Commission and said such posturing reflected his sense of defeat in the Lok Sabha elections.
"Jameen par aay gaye (now he has come on ground)," Yadav said while referring to Modi's allegation that the EC had failed to check "rigging and violence" in West Bengal, Bihar and western Uttar Pradesh.
"When people get the sense of defeat they start talking about irregularities in the game," he told reporters here.
On RJD President Lalu Prasad entering into verbal duel with officials over checking of vehicle of Rabri Devi, he said it was another example of showing disrespect to the EC.
"Even my vehicle were checked and two cases of poll code violation filed against me, but I never pointed fingers on EC," he said.
