Guwahati: Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinet has accused the Election Commission of not taking action against PM Modi. He said the Election Commission is not taking action on the complaint lodged against Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his remarks on “redistribution of wealth” and hence the party is exploring legal remedies. Shrinet said that people should have full trust in institutions like the Election Commission and if that trust has been shaken then they should work to restore it.
‘No action is being taken on the complaint’
He further said that “Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave hate speeches in Rajasthan. My colleagues met the Election Commission on Monday and we have leveled allegations against him. “Since they are not acting on our complaint, we are considering legal remedies.” The Congress on Monday moved the Election Commission seeking ‘appropriate action’ against Modi for his ‘redistribution of wealth’ remarks at an election rally in Rajasthan and alleged that the comments were ‘divisive’, ‘malicious’ and a Targeted a particular religious community.
‘Hope there will be fair elections’
Let us tell you that on Sunday, the Prime Minister had created a political controversy by claiming that the Congress manifesto promised “redistribution” of wealth after conducting the survey. “We hope this will be a free and fair election, but we see very little evidence of that,” Shrinate said. He said that the less said about the Election Commission’s action against BJP, the better. On the proper functioning of EVMs, Shrinate said, “Even if a person says that his vote did not go to the person he intended to cast, it is the responsibility of institutions like the Election Commission to restore the confidence of the people.” He said that the opposition parties are pressing for 100 percent VVPAT counting, but the Election Commission has not accepted it.
