 "Congress objects to shooting of Gujarat tourism campaign, approaches EC")
Former Union Minister and Congress candidate from Chhota Udepur, Naranbhai Rathwa, has approached the Election Commission taking objection to the shooting of Gujarat Tourism Development Corporation's campaign involving megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
The shooting for 'Khushboo Gujarat Ki' campaign is to start at Champaner-Pavagadh from tomorrow.
Rathwa alleged that Narendra Modi-led Gujarat government was trying to take advantage of the Bollywood actor's celebrity status to influence the voters in the area.
It would violate the model code of conduct, he had alleged.
