LIVE! Rahul entering poll booth in Amethi is violation of code of conduct: AAP
May 07, 2014
This is what the Election Commission says on the Code of Conduct.

"On the day of the poll, no person who has been assessed to be having a
security threat and therefore given official security shall enter the vicinity
of a polling station premise (within 100 meters) with his security personnel.
Further, on the day of the poll no such person shall move around in a
constituency with his security personnel. If the person provided with
official security happens to be a voter also, then he or she shall restrict his
/ her movement - accompanied by security personnel, to voting only."

The picture tweeted by AAP shows Rahul Gandhi enter a poll booth in Amethi. The AAP has also filed a complaint with the EC saying Rahul was travelling around his constituency in a convoy.
